ULK-101 is a selective ULK1 inhibitor (IC₅₀=1.6nM) that inhibits ULK2 activity (IC₅₀=30nM). ULK-101 blocks cellular autophagy by inhibiting both autophagy induction and autophagic flux[1-2]. ULK-101 can be used in research related to autophagy mechanisms and cancer, particularly KRAS-mutant lung cancer[3-4].
In vitro, U2OS cells were pretreated with ULK-101 (5μM) for 2.5 hours and then stimulated with AZD8055 (100nM). ULK-101 significantly inhibited the formation of DFCP1-positive puncta and ATG12-positive phagophores. In another experiment, cells were treated with ULK-101 (5μM) for 3 hours, with BafA1 (100nM) added for the final 1.5 hours. This treatment significantly inhibited the accumulation of LC3B-positive vesicles[5]. A549, H1299, and Mv1Lu cells were pretreated with ULK-101 (1μM) for 24 hours and then stimulated with TGFβ1 (250pM). ULK-101 significantly inhibited the trafficking of cell-surface TGFβ receptors to early endosomes, late endosomes, and lysosomes. ULK-101 reduced TGFβ1-induced Smad2/Smad3 phosphorylation, nuclear translocation, expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers (N-cadherin, Slug, Snail), stress fiber formation, and cell migration[6].
In vivo, wild-type (WT) mice with house dust mite (HDM)-induced asthma were administered ULK-101 (20mg/kg) via daily intraperitoneal injection for 10 days. ULK-101 administration significantly inhibited the activation of the ULK1/Atg9a signaling pathway and reduced the expression of the NLRP3 inflammasome and its downstream effector molecules, caspase-1 and IL-1β, in lung tissues[7].
