Torin 2 is an orally active mTOR inhibitor (EC50=0.25nM). Torin 2 inhibits mTORC1/2-mediated phosphorylation of S6K and 4EBP1 to block protein synthesis and cell proliferation. Torin 2 enhances DNA damage response and radiotherapy sensitivity by inhibiting ATM, ATR, and DNA-PK. Torin 2 can be used for research on tumors, autophagy, and DNA damage repair[1-4].
In vitro, treatment of Kelly, IMR-32, and SK-N-BE(2) cells with 11.69-29.67nM Torin 2 for 72 hours inhibited cell viability and induced G1 cell cycle arrest[5]. Treatment of NALM-6, SEM, REH, RS4;11, BV-173, SUP-B15, TOM-1, and B-precursor ALL cells with 0.025-0.5μM Torin 2 for 48 hours inhibited cell proliferation, arrested cells in G0/G1 phase, and reduced S phase cell proportion[6]. Treatment of HepG2 cells with 46μM Torin 2 for 72 hours produced cytotoxicity[7].
In vivo, daily oral gavage of 40mg/kg Torin 2 for 2 days to Lox-Stop-Lox-Kras(G12D) mice after intranasal Ad-Cre induction of Kras G12D expression inhibited pS6K, p4EBP1, and pAkt expression in tumor tissues[8]. Single oral gavage of 20mg/kg Torin 2 to fasted C57BL/6 mice overnight maintained strong inhibition of mTOR activity and reduced S6K T389 and Akt T308 phosphorylation in lung and liver tissues for at least 6 hours[9].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
Kelly cells (human neuroblastoma cell line), IMR-32 cells (human neuroblastoma cell line), SK-N-BE(2) cells (human neuroblastoma cell line) |
|
Preparation Method |
Kelly, IMR-32 and SK-N-BE(2) cells were maintained in RPMI 1640 or EMEM/Ham's F12 medium supplemented with FBS at 37°C, 5% CO2. Cells were treated with Torin 2 at concentrations of 11.69nM, 29.67nM and 28.52nM respectively for 72 hours. After treatment, cell viability was measured by MTT assay, cell cycle distribution was analyzed by propidium iodide staining, and protein expression was analyzed by immunoblot. |
|
Reaction Conditions |
11.69nM-29.67nM; 72h |
|
Applications |
Torin 2 inhibited cell viability in Kelly, IMR-32 and SK-N-BE(2) cells. Torin 2 induced G1 cell cycle arrest in Kelly and IMR-32 cells. Torin 2 marginally induced PARP-1 cleavage at 160nM in Kelly and IMR-32 cells. Torin 2 did not increase LC3B-II expression at IC50 concentrations in Kelly and IMR-32 cells. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
Lox-Stop-Lox-Kras(G12D) mice |
|
Preparation Method |
Mice were given Ad-Cre by nasal inhalation at 5-7 weeks of age to induce Kras G12D expression. After initial imaging, mice bearing tumor were given Torin 2 (40mg/kg) or Torin 2 (40mg/kg) combined with AZD6244 (25mg/kg) by oral gavage daily. For pharmacodynamics assay, mice were treated with a single daily dosing of Torin 2 (40mg/kg) for 2 days and sacrificed for immunohistochemical analyses. |
|
Dosage form |
40mg/kg; p.o.; daily for 2 days |
|
Applications |
Torin 2 strongly suppressed pS6K(T389) and p4EBP1(T37/46) and partly suppressed pAkt(T308) in tumor tissues. Torin 2 combined with AZD6244 for 4 weeks significantly reduced tumor volume and reduced tumor FDG metabolic activity. |
