Application

MRT68921 dihydrochloride has been used: as a specific inhibitor of Unc-51-like kinase 1 (ULK1) in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cellsas an inhibitor of ULK1 and ULK2 kinases in intrahepatic lymphocytesas a ULK1 inhibitor to test its effect on attenuation of autophagosome accumulation in ubiquitin-specific peptidase 24 (USP24)knockdown containing human neuroglioma H4 cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

MRT68921 is a cell penetrant, potent and specific inhibitor of ULK1 and ULK2 kinases in vitro, which reduces ULK1 activity in cells and blocks autophagy induction. MRT68921 blocks mTOR dependent autophagy.

MRT68921 is cytotoxic and acts on oxidative stress signals to kill cancer cells, making it an effective tumor therapy agent.
