Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Temsirolimus is a specific inhibitor of mTOR used in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma. The IC50 of temsirolimus against mTOR is 1.76 µM. CCI-779 at low micromolar concentrations broadly suppresses tumor cell proliferation via an FKBP12 (12-kDa FK506-binding protein)-independent mechanism. A CCI-779-resistant mTOR mutant (mTOR-S2035I) displays an 11-fold resistance to the micromolar CCI-779 in vitro with an IC50 of 20 µM. [1] In the HER-2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) gene??mplified breast cancer cell line BT474, temsirolimus inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production in vitro under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions through inhibition of hypoxia-stimulated hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α expression and transcriptional activation. In addition to its effect on HIF-1α??ediated VEGF production, temsirolimus also directly inhibits serum- and/or VEGF-driven endothelial cell proliferation and morphogenesis in vitro.[2] Temsirolimus inhibits the migration of endothelial cell (EC) with an IC50 of 50 nM. [3] Temsirolimus has antiproliferative activity in three MCL cell lines in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Mechanistically, temsirolimus inhibits mTOR and induces cell-cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase and a decrease in p21 expression without altering p27 or cyclin D1 levels. [4] In vivo, temsirolimus significantly and dose dependently inhibits the proliferation of serum-stimulated HUVEC. Temsirolimus (50 nM) completely inhibits VEGF-stimulated vessel formation. [2] Temsirolimus is highly active against malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) xenograft models in severe combined immunodeficiency mice as a single agent.[5]
