    Description

    XL388 is a highly potent and ATP-competitive mTOR inhibitor with an IC50 of 9.9 nM. XL388 simultaneously inhibits both mTORC1 and mTORC2.

    IC50 & Target[1]

    mTOR

    9.9 nM (IC50)

    mTORC1

     

    mTORC2

     

    DNA-PK

    8.831 μM (IC50)

    In Vitro

    XL388 (Compound 28) also inhibits DNA-PK with an IC50 of 8.831 μM. XL388 inhibits cellular phosphorylation of mTOR complex 1 (p-p70S6K, pS6, and p-4E-BP1) and mTOR complex 2 (pAKT (S473)) substrates. XL388 acts in an ATP-competitive manner, with a linear increase in IC50 values with increasing ATP concentration[1]. XL388 shows a dose-dependent effect in promoting MG-63 cell apoptosis. XL388 (100 nM) induces apoptosis in other two OS cell lines (U2OS and SaOs-2), but not in non-cancerous MC3T3-E1 cells. XL388 potently inhibits activation of both mTORC1 and mTORC2 in MG-63 cells. The effect of XL388 on mTORC1/2 activation is again dose-dependent. Further, mTORC1/2 activation is almost blocked in XL388 (100 nM)-treated U2OS cells, SaOs-2 cells and primary human OS cells[2].

    In Vivo

    To assess the pharmacodynamic effects of XL388 (Compound 28) on the mTOR pathway signaling, athymic nude mice bearing PC-3 prostate tumors are dosed orally at 100 mg/kg of XL388. Rapamycin is also administered intraperitoneally at 5 mg/kg as a reference. Plasma and tumor samples are collected at 1, 4, 8, 16, 24, and 32 h for XL388 and at 4 h for Rapamycin after dosing and homogenized with buffer. Tumor lysates from each animal (n=5) are then pooled for each group and analyzed by immunoblot for levels of phosphorylated p70S6K, S6, 4E-BP1, and AKT. XL388 has moderate terminal elimination half-life (t1/2=1.35 h, 0.45 h, 6.11 h and 0.86 h for mouse (10 mg/kg, iv), rat (3 mg/kg, iv), dog (3 mg/kg, iv), monkey (3 mg/kg, iv))[1].

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    Kinase Assay
    [1]

    The measurement of mTOR enzyme activity is performed in an ELISA format following the phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 protein. All experiments are performed in the 384-well format. Generally, 0.5 μL of DMSO containing varying concentrations of the test compound is mixed with 15 μL of the enzyme solution. Kinase reactions are initiated with the addition of 15 μL of a solution containing the substrate. The assay conditions are as follows: 0.2 nM mTOR, 10 μM ATP, and 50 nM NHis-tagged 4E-BP1 in 20 mM Hepes, pH 7.2, 1 mM DTT, 50 mM NaCl, 10 mM MnCl2, 0.02 mg/mL BSA, 0.01% CHAPS, 50 mM β-glycerophophate. Following an incubation of 120 min at ambient temperature, 20 μL of the reaction mixture is transferred to a Ni-chelate-coated 384-well plate. The binding step of the 4E-BP1 protein proceeded for 60 min, followed by washing four times each with 50 μL of Tris-buffered saline solution (TBS). Anti-phospho-4E-BP1 rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG; 20 μL, 1:5000) in 5% BSA-TBST (0.2% Tween-20 in TBS) is added, and the reaction mixuture is further incubated for 60 min. Incubation with a secondary horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-tagged anti-IgG is similarly performed after the primary antibody is washed off (four washes of 50 μL). Following the final wash step with TBST, 20 μL of SuperSignal ELISA Femto is added and the luminescence measured using an EnVision plate reader. Data are reported as the mean (n≥2) [1].

    Cell Assay
    [2]

    U2OS, SaOs-2 and MG-63 OS cell lines as well as the murine calvaria-derived osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells are maintained and culture. The OB-6 human osteoblastic cells are cultured. For primary culture of murine osteoblasts, the trimmed calvariae of neonatal mice are digested with 0.1% collagenase I and 0.25% dispase. The resolving cell suspensions are neutralized with complete culture medium and are filtered. The calvarial osteoblasts are then resuspended in 10 mL α-MEM containing 15% FBS, and are cultured. Cells (5×104/well) are suspended in 1 mL of DMEM with 1% agar, 10 % FBS and with indicated XL388 (5, 25, 100 and 200nM) treatment. The cell suspension is then added on top of a pre-solidified 1% agar in a 100 mm culture dish. The drug containing medium is refreshed every 2 days. After 10-day incubation, the number of remaining colonies are stained and manually counted[2].

    Pharmacokinetic studies of XL388 are determined in female athymic nude mice, female CD rats, male beagle dogs, and male cynomolgus monkeys. XL388 is administered intravenously and by oral gavage at 10 mg/kg as a solution formulated in EPW (5% ethanol/45% PEG400/water+1:2 HCl (m/m)) to mice, 3 mg/kg as a solution formulated in EPW (5% ethanol/45% PEG400/water+1:2 HCl (m/m)) to CD rats and male beagle dogs, and 3 mg/kg as a solution formulated in EPW (5% ethanol/45% PEG400/water+1:1.5 HCl (m/m)) to male cynomolgus monkeys. The plasma levels of XL388 are monitored over a 24 h period.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
