(R)-MRT199665 is an isomer of MRT199665 . MRT199665 is a potent and ATP-competitive, selective MARK/SIK/AMPK inhibitor with IC50s of 2/2/3/2 nM, 10/10 nM, and 110/12/43 nM for MARK1/MARK2/MARK3/MARK14, AMPKα1/AMPKα2, and SIK1/SIK2/SIK3, respectively. MRT199665 causes apoptosis in MEF2C-activated human acute myeloid leukemias (AML) cells. MRT199665 inhibits the phosphorylation of SIK substrate CRTC3 at S370.
