Synonyms: SAR-405
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: SAR405 is a small molecule inhibitor selective for the lipid kinase, vacuolar protein sorting 34 (Vps34; PIK3C3), a kinase with roles in autophagy and vesicle trafficking [1]. It was tested in preclinical studies.
![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects ![]() |
Vps34 is a class III phosphoinositide 3-kinase involved in autophagy. It is a downstream target modulated by the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). Inhibition of Vps34 by SAR405 is reported to affect late endosome-lysosome compartments thereby reducing autophagy [1]. In the same study, combining Vps34 and mTOR inhibition produced a synergistic antiproliferative effect on renal tumour cells in vitro. |
