Biological Activity

Description AZ20 is a novel potent and selective inhibitor of ATR kinase with IC50 of 5 nM in a cell-free assay, 8-fold selectivity over mTOR.
Features ATR-selective inhibitor with high permeability and good stability.
Targets
ATR [2]
(Cell-free assay)		 mTOR [2]
(Cell-free assay)
5 nM 38 nM
In vitro
In vitro AZ20 shows good selectivity against all of the PI3K isoforms together with ATM and DNA-PK. [2] In vitro, AZ20 decreases pChk1 Ser345, pChk1 Ser317 and pChk1 Ser296 levels in a concentration-dependent manner. Prolonged exposure with AZ20 increases γH2AX pan-nuclear staining, indicative of replication stress. This is associated with S-phase arrest and increase in phospho-histone H3. AZ20 induces growth inhibition and cell death in vitro and its profile of activity is distinct from other cytotoxic agents. The cytotoxic effect of AZ20 can be increased in combination with the selective ATM inhibitor KU-60019. [1]

In Vivo
In vivo Female nude mice bearing LoVo tumors are treated with AZ20 orally at a dose of 25 mg/kg twice daily or 50 mg/kg once daily for 13 days, led to significant tumor growth inhibition. [2] This is associated with a persistent elevation of γH2AX pan-nuclear staining in xenograft tissue, but a transient increase in mouse bone marrow at therapeutic doses, suggesting a favourable therapeutic index. [1] AZ20 is assessed for drug−drug interaction (DDI) potential specifically from inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzymes. AZ20 is found to inhibit the cytochrome 3A4-mediated metabolism of midazolam by 50% at 10 μM. AZ20 has respectable bioavailability in a low dose rat PK study. [2]

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1:
If I want to completely block the kinase activity from the in vitro cell lines, how much concentration I should use?

Answer:
IC50 5nM was quoted from a previous publication in which the author tested IC50 of AZ20 in cell free assay. In cell culture, many factors, such as membrane permeability and target protein concentration, may affect the efficiency. Each cell line responses to the same compound differently and it is very difficult to predict the optimized concentration simply based on cell free data. In cell culture experiment, the required concentration is usually higher. We recommend that you perform a pilot experiment and test different concentrations (50nM to 500uM) to get the optimized condition.
