VS-5584 is an ATP-competitive inhibitor which selectively inhibits PI3K/mTOR signaling with equivalent low nanomolar potency against all human Class I PI3K isoforms and mTOR kinase. VS-5584 is approximately 10-fold selective for cancer stem cells with an EC50 of 15 nM in HMLE breast cancer cells. VS-5584 preferentially decreases CD44Hi/CD24Lo cells in an HMLER immortalized mammary cancer cell line. In SUM159 cells, VS-5584 effectively eliminates the cancer stem cell side population. [1] A large human cancer cell line panel screen (436 lines) reveals broad antiproliferative sensitivity and that cells harboring mutations in PI3KCA are generally more sensitive toward VS-5584 treatment. In the FLT3-ITD harboring MV4-11 cells, VS-5584 blocks pAkt (S473) and pAkt (T308) with IC50 of 12 and 13 nM, respectively. The IC50 of VS-5584 for pS6 (S240/244), pAkt (S473), and pAkt (T308) are 20, 23, and 15 nM, respectively. [2]
