LYN-1604 is a Potent ULK1 Activator

UNC-51 like kinase 1 (ULK1) is the mammalian homolog of ATG1. ULK1 is an autophagic initiator that may decide the subsequent cell fate. In the autophagic process, ULK1 is a component of the ULK complex that is essential for autophagy induction in different types of cancer. Additionally, characterization of ULK1 expression...

MRT67307 Blocks mTOR-Dependent Autophagy by Inhibiting ULK1 Kinase

Yesterday, I introduced a dual IKKε/TBK1 inhibitor MRT67307. Studies have showed that MRT67307 plays a significant role in innate immunology. Not only this, a study from Katy J. Petherick drew a conclusion that MRT67307 blocked mTOR-dependent autophagy by inhibiting ULK1 kinase. ULK1, is believed to be specific for autophagy....
