doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-25-1444

Figure Lengend Snippet: APL-4098 is a potent inhibitor of GCN2. A, APL-4098 molecular structure. B, Crystal structure of APL-4098 bound to human GCN2. Backbone of the GCN2 catalytic site (blue ribbon) and binding of APL-4098, with the extensive interaction network in the ATP site shown with dashed red lines (hydrogen bonds) and yellow lines (hydrophobic contacts). C, Biochemical, ADME, and PK profile of APL-4098. *All data generated from a rat intravenous/oral study: 1 mg/kg i.v. and 3 mg/kg orally. 1 Data generated from the i.v. study and 2 data generated from the oral study. D, APL-4098 inhibition of GCN2 kinase activity, measured as the level of eIF2α phosphorylation, using LanthaScreen FRET-based assay. Plot shows mean ± SEM from three representative experiments conducted in duplicate. E, U2OS cells were treated with APL-4098 in the presence or absence of borrelidin as indicated for 4 hours. Cell lysates were analyzed for phosphorylation of eIF2α using HTRF assay. Plot shows mean ± SEM from four individual experiments conducted in duplicate. F, U2OS cells were grown in glutamine-depleted medium and treated with APL-4098 as indicated for 4 hours. Cell lysates were analyzed by Western blotting.
