Product Description

Torin 2 is a novel, potent and selective ATP-competitive inhibitor of mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) with potential antitumor activity. It exhibits ~800-fold higher selectivity for mTOR over PI3K and has favorable pharmacokinetics. In p53−/− MEFs cell line, it inhibits mTOR with an IC50 of 0.25 nM.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
mTORC1; mTORC2; Autophagy; mTOR ( IC50 = 2.81 nM ); DNA-PK ( IC50 = 0.5 nM ); p110γ ( IC50 = 5.67 nM ); PI3K-C2β ( IC50 = 24.5 nM ); PI3K-C2α ( IC50 = 28.1 nM ); hVps34 ( IC50 = 8.58 nM ); PI3K ( EC50 = 200 nM ); ΡΙ4Κβ ( IC50 = 18.3 nM )
ln Vitro

Torin 2 has the same binding mechanism as PI3Kγ; V882 acts as a hinge binding point, and three additional hydrogen bonds with aminopyridine side chains—similar to Y2225, D2195, and D2357 of mTOR—are provided in the inner hydrophobic pocket by Y867, D841, and D964.[1] Torin 2 has an EC50 of 1.666 mM and inhibits mTORC1, which in turn activates TFEB through its nuclear translocation.[2] Torin 2 (< 50 nM) significantly lowers the viability of TT and MZ-CRC-1 cells. TT and MZ-CRC-1 cell migration is significantly inhibited by torin 2 (100 nM).[3]

ln Vivo
Torin 2 shows a half-time of 11.7 minutes and a pharmacodynamic response of >95% in the mouse liver microsome stability study. In male Swiss albino mice, Torin 2 has the best bioavailability (51%), short half-life (0.72 hours), and low clearance (19.6 mL/min/kg) after intravenous and oral administration.[1] Torin 2 (20 mg/kg) reduces MYCN protein levels and causes Th-MYCN mice to undergo apoptosis in order to ablate MYCN tumors.[4]
Enzyme Assay
Using p53−/− MEFs, cellular IC50 values for mTOR are calculated. After one hour of treatment with either a vehicle or escalating concentrations of Torin 2, the cells are lysed. Using an antibody specific to phosphorylation, immunoblotting is used to monitor the phosphorylation of S6K1 Thr-389. In the meantime, phosphorylation of Akt Thr-308 in p53−/−/mLST8−/− MEFs or human PC3 cells expressing the S473D mutant of Akt1 is used to calculate cellular IC50 values for PI3Ka.
Cell Assay
After treating HCT116 cells for an hour with 100 nM Torin 2 or AZD8055, they are fully cleaned using 3×PBS and 1×DMEM medium. After the specified amount of time, the cells are lysed and collected using M-PER after being incubated in DMEM medium. Protein loading is done in equal parts and protein concentrations are measured. One set of results and three repetitions of the experiment are obtained.
Animal Protocol
Mice: Male C57BL/6 mice aged six weeks are fasted for the entire night before receiving Torin 2. The mice are given either vehicle (for 10 hours) or Torin 2 (20 mg/kg) by oral gavage for 6 hours. They are then fed again an hour before they are sacrificed (by CO2 asphyxiation). Lungs and liver are gathered, then frozen on dry ice. Using tissue lysis buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 40 mM NaCl, 2 mM EDTA, 1.5 mM sodium orthovanadate, 50 mM sodium fluoride, 10 mM sodium pyrophosphate, 10 mM sodium β-glycerophosphate, 0.1% SDS, 1.0% sodium deoxycholate, and 1.0% Triton, supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail tablets), the frozen tissue is thawed on ice and then lysed by sonication. The Bradford assay is used to determine the concentration of clear lysate. After normalizing samples based on protein content, SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting are used to analyze the results.
Rats: In a 12-hour light/dark cycle, four female rats (220 g) are housed in a group setting in cages with unlimited access to food and water. A 10 g weight is dropped onto the dorsal surface of the exposed spinal cord using the Keck Center for Neurosciences impactor, raising it to a height of 25 mm. Following one week of recording BBB scores, withdrawal thresholds elicited by touch stimulus, and body weights, the animals are split into five treatment groups: naïve (N=4), sham (N=6), vehicle (N=6), Torin 2 (N=6), and Torin 2+Rapamycin (N=8). IV by gavage once daily beginning on day 15 after injury and continuing until day 29, torin 2 (4 mg/kg) or in combination with Rapamycin (1.5 mg/kg) is given orally. The laminectomy is the only procedure done on sham-operated rats.

Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
