MHY1485

MHY1485 is a potent cell-permeable mTOR activator that targets the ATP domain of mTOR. MHY1485 inhibits autophagy by suppression of fusion between autophagosomes and lysosomes^[1]. IC50 & Target: mTOR, Autophagy^[1] In Vitro: MHY1485 (10 μM; 4 hours) shows that GCDC-induced autophagic activity is inhibited by upregulating p-mTOR expression and downregulating LC3 and p62 expression in HCC cells^[1].
MHY1485 (5 μM; 6 hours) increases the LC3II/LC3I ratio in a dose and time-dependently manner due to presumably inhibited LC3II degradation in rat liver Ac2F cells^[2].
MHY1485 (0.5-2 μM; 6 hours) increases the phosphorylation of mTOR at ser2448 and upregulates the level of phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 in a dose-dependently manner in Ac2F cells^[2].
In Vivo: MHY1485 (intraperitoneal injection; 10?mg/kg, 2 days) blocks the autophagy signaling induced by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). It increases p-mTOR and p-S6K1 expression levels, whereas LC3 expression shows no marked change compared to that in the control group^[3].
