BAY-069
Probe criteria
| Inhibitor/agonist potency: goal is < 100 nM (IC50, Kd) | Surpasses criterion: Biochemical assay: BCAT1 IC50 = 27 nM; BCAT2 IC50 = 130 nM |
| Selectivity within target family: > 30-fold | Aspartate transaminase: GOT1 and GOT2: IC50 > 50 μM |
| Selectivity outside target family | Clean panel (Tested 30 kinases, 30 proteases and 77 other targets). One off-target in PDSP scan: GABA/PBR (Ki = 74.19 nM) |
| On target cell activity for cell-based targets: goal is < 1 µM IC50/EC50 | Surpasses criterion: Cellular mechanistic assay – BCAA measurement: U-87-MG (high BCAT1 expressing) cells: IC50 =358 nM; MDA-MB-231 (high BCAT2 expressing) cells: IC50 = 874 nM |
| Control compound (100 times less potent than the probe) | BAY-771: Biochemical assay: BCAT1 IC50 = 6.5 µM; BCAT2 IC50 = 10.8 µMCellular mechanistic assay: U-87-MG (high BCAT1 expressing) cells: IC50 = 6.2 µM (17-fold) |
