General Description
A cell-permeable triazine derivative that is shown to increase cellular mTOR Ser2448 and downstream substrate 4E-BP Thr37/46 phosphorylation level in rat liver Ac2F cells (1 to 2 μM for 1 h), affecting culture viability only at much higher concentrations (by 20% after 24 h 20 μM treatment). MHY1485 induced cellular LC3-II accumulation in Ac2F is reported to be a result of autophagy inhibition due to reduced fusion between autophagosomes and lysosomes. The mechanism of mTOR activation by MHY1485 is currently unknown.
