Biochem/physiol Actions

WX8 (Ro 91-4714) is a selective phosphoinositide kinase PIKfyve inhibitor that disrupts lysosome fission via tubulation, lysosomal trafficking, and heterotypic lysosomes-autophagosomes fusion (0.1-1 µM; U2OS), but not homotypic lysosome fusion. WX8 exhibits cancer-selective antiproliferation activity (IC50 = 48 nM/A375, 200 nM/U2OS; IC50 >10 µM/non-cancer 293T & HFF) with a higher potency than the PIKfyve inhibitor YM201636, or the lysosomal inhibitors chloroquine & hydroxychloroquine (A375 IC50 = 119 nM, 1.7 µM, 1.9 µM, repectively).

Although PIKFYVE phosphoinositide kinase inhibitors can selectively eliminate PIKFYVE-dependent human cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, the basis for this selectivity has remained elusive. Here we show that the sensitivity of cells to the PIKFYVE inhibitor WX8 is not
