Description: | 3-Methyladenine is a PI3K inhibitor. 3-Methyladenine is a widely used inhibitor of autophagy via its inhibitory effect on class III PI3K. |
In Vivo: | 3-Methyladenine (1.5 mg/100 g, i.p.) treatment alleviates sodium taurocholate-induced severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in rats at both 12 and 24 h. 3-Methyladenine inhibits autophagy of pancreatic acinar cells in sodium taurocholate-tnduced SAP. 3-Methyladenine also shows inhibitory effects on PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and NF-κB signaling pathway in sodium taurocholate-tnduced SAP[3]. |
In Vitro: | 3-Methyladenine shows slight preference to binds to Vps34 in vitro, with an IC50 of 25 µM for Vps34 as compared with 60 µM for PtdIns3Kγ, and 3-Methyladenine (10 mM) can inhibit all PtdIns3Ks[1]. 3-Methyladenine (3-MA, 5 mM) suppresses autophagy in HeLa cells under both glucose-free conditions and normal conditions. 3-Methyladenine (2.5, 5 or 10 mM) induces caspase-dependent cell death in HeLa cells, and the death occurs independently of the inhibition of autophagy. Moreover, 3-Methyladenine (3-MA, 1 mM) significantly shortens the duration of nocodazole-induced-prometaphase arrest[2]. |
