Background

RapaLink-1 (CAS: 1887095-82-0) is a third-generation mTOR inhibitor. It uniquely combines the binding pockets of first- and second-generation mTOR kinase inhibitors, creating a bivalent interaction that enables it to inhibit mutations that are resistant to previous TORKi (mTOR kinase inhibitors).

The PIK3CA–AKT–mTOR signaling pathway is one of the most commonly activated pathways in human cancers, which has led to the development of small molecule inhibitors targeting multiple nodes of this pathway. Two generations of mTOR inhibitors have already been developed.

Compared to first- and second-generation mTOR inhibitors, RapaLink-1 is more potent. RapaLink-1 can more effectively reduce the levels of p-4EBP1 and inhibit cell proliferation. Researchers compared the efficacy of rapamycin, RapaLink-1, and MLN0128 in LN229 and U87MG cells. Compared to rapamycin or MLN0128, RapaLink-1 exhibited stronger growth inhibition and a greater ability to arrest cells in the G0/G1 phase. In vivo, RapaLink-1 demonstrated potent antitumor activity; in xenograft tumor models, it led to tumor regression and subsequent stabilization of tumor volume, whereas tumors in the vehicle, rapamycin, or MLN0128 groups continued to grow steadily.

RapaLink-1 can durably block mTORC1. RapaLink-1 is associated with FKBP12, an abundant mTOR-interacting protein, which allows RapaLink-1 to aggregate. Compared to rapamycin or other TORKi, RapaLink-1 shows better efficacy and can potently inhibit cancer-derived, mTOR-activating mutations.

Protocol

Cell experiment:[1]

Cell lines

Human glioma cell line U87MG

Reaction Conditions

0 ~ 200 nM Rapalink-1 for 3 days

Applications

In U87MG cells, both growth inhibition (0 ~ 200 nM Rapalink-1; 3 days) and arrest in G0/G1 (0 ~ 12.5 nM Rapalink-1; 48 hours) were more obvious in response to Rapalink-1, compared with Rapamycin or MLN0128.

Animal experiment:[1]

Animal models

BALB/Cnu/nu mice bearing U87MG intracranial xenografts

Dosage form

1.5 mg/kg

Injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) every 5 or 7 days

Applications

Rapalink-1 led to initial regression and subsequent stabilization of tumor size, while tumors treated with vehicle, Rapamycin, or MLN0128 grew steadily. Furthermore, Rapalink-1 was well tolerated and associated with significantly improved survival.
