Torin 2 is a member of the class of pyridoquinolines that is benzo[h][1,6]naphthyridin-2-one carrying additional 3 (trifluoromethyl)phenyl and 6-aminopyridin-3-yl substituents at positions 1 and 9 respectively. It is a potent inhibitor of mTOR and exhibits anti-cancer properties. It has a role as a mTOR inhibitor and an antineoplastic agent. It is an organofluorine compound, a pyridoquinoline, an aminopyridine and a primary amino compound. Torin 2 is a potent and selective mTOR inhibitor with IC50 of 0.25 nM in p53−/− MEFs cell line; 800-fold greater selectivity for mTOR than PI3K and improved pharmacokinetic properties. Inhibition of ATM/ATR/DNA-PK with EC50 of 28 nM/35 nM/118 nM,in PC3 cell lines respectively. |
