- Product Overview:
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine-threonine kinase that is central to two protein complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2. These complexes are differentially regulated (e.g., only mTORC1 is sensitive to rapamycin) and regulate different pathways. PP242 is an inhibitor of the active site of mTOR kinase in both mTORC1 and mTORC2 (IC50 = 8 nM).{17883,19367} It less effectively inhibits PKC?, PI3-kinase subunit p110?, JAK2, PKC?I, and PKC?II (IC50 = 49, 102, 110, 198, and 185, respectively).{19367,19883} PP242 has been shown to cause the death of certain human and murine leukemia cells more potently than rapamycin and, in vivo, delays leukemia onset and augments the effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in suppressing leukemic expansion and extending survival.{18005}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
