SERP
Comments:
Good in vitro probe. It is important to use the negative control probe in parallel as it allows to account for the off target activity on PYKfyve. The cellular engagement IC50 of 67nM was obtained in the absence of serum according to the information provided. As a result, higher probe concentrations may be required to see cellular activity if serum is present (concurrent testing of the inactive probe analogue will be especially important in this case). The conclusion section of the original manuscript (Current Research in Chemical Biology 3 (2023) 100036) provides some additional probe suggestions to further validate cellular activity is being driven by PI5P4Kγ rather than some other off target.
No compound optimization for in vivo dosing was conducted and no ADME or in vivo PK data are available as of the date of this review (06/2023). Accordingly, this probe cannot be recommended for in vivo dosing.
