Torin 2
Chemical Name: 9-(6-Amino-3-pyridinyl)-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-benzo[h]-1,6-naphthyridin-2(1H)-one
Purity: ≥98%
Biological Activity
Torin 2 is a potent and selective mTOR inhibitor (IC50 = 2.1 nM). Displays 800-fold cellular selectivity for mTOR over PI3K (cellular EC50 values are 0.25 and 200 nM for mTOR and PI3K respectively). Activates autophagy. Orally available.Technical Data
