NCT-503
- Soluble in 0.1N HCl(aq) and DMSO
- MF: C20H23F3N4S
- MW: 408.48
Description
NCT-503 is a potent and non-competitive phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) inhibitor with an IC50 value of 2.5 μM. NCT-503 reduces the production of glucose-derived serine in cells and suppresses the growth of PHGDH-dependent cancer cells in culture and orthotopic xenograft tumor models.
PHGDH catalyzes the first committed step in the de novo serine biosynthesis pathway and is frequently upregulated in metabolically dependent cancers. NCT-503 is an optimized in vivo chemical probe with improved potency and solubility compared to the earlier PHGDH inhibitor NCT-502, making it a valuable tool for studying cancer metabolism and serine biosynthesis.
