In Vitro Studies

In ES-2 cells, Mubritinib reduced LC3 puncta formation upon autophagy induction by Rapamycin treatment. In model #53, Mubritinib alone reduced the number of live cells to ~35% of control. [1,2]

In Vivo Studies

Mubritinib was administered intraperitoneally to immunodeficient mice bearing intracranial luciferase-expressing BTSC73. Mubritinib monotherapy delayed tumour formation and produced a ~5-fold decrease in luciferase activity compared with vehicle control. [2]
