QUICK LINKS

YM201636 is a potent inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinase PIKfyve, which has been noted to synthesize phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate and is also reported to be involved in sorting endosomal transport. YM201636 displays the ability to inhibit basal and insulin-activated 2-deoxyglucose uptake, as well as completely block insulin-dependent activation of class IA PI 3-kinase. The selectivity of YM201636 is shown to be less potent to p110α and insensitive to Fabl (yeast orthologue). In serum-starved NIH3T3 cells, YM201636 significantly decreased production of PtdIns(3,5)P2 by 80%.
