LYN-1604 is a potential ULK1 agonist (enzymatic activity=195.7% at 100 nM and IC50=1.66 μM against MDA-MB-231 cells) .
LYN-1604 binds to wild-type ULK1 with a binding affinity in the nanomole range (KD=291.4 nM) .
LYN-1604 (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 μM) induces cell death via the ULK complex in MDA-MB-231 cells.
LYN-1604 (0.5-2 μM, 24 hours) induces remarkable up-regulation of Beclin-1 and degradation of p62, as well as transformation of LC3-I to LC3-II in MDA-MB-231 cells.
LYN-1604 induces ATG5-dependent autophagy via the ULK complex.
LYN-1604 can also increase cleavage of caspase3 and induce apoptosis.
