GNE-493

GNE-493 is a low molecular weight, potent dual inhibitor of pan-PI3 kinases and mTOR. GNE-493 displays approximately equipotent inhibition of Class I PI3K isoforms, is submitted for screening in a 142 kinase panel provided by Invitrogen’s SelectScreen service. Of these kinases, only three are subject to greater than 50% inhibition by GNE-493, and none are inhibited greater than 80% when tested at 1 μM. Subsequently measured IC50s demonstrated that GNE-493 is more than 100-fold selective for PI3Kα over these three unrelated kinases (Aurora A IC₅₀>10 μM, MLK1 IC₅₀=591 nM and SYK IC₅₀=371 nM)
