Molecular Formula
C18H16N4O3S
Chemical Name
2-Pyrazinecarboxamide, 3-amino-6-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-N-phenyl-
Solubility

In vitro
VE-821 shows excellent selectivity for ATR with minimal cross-reactivity against the related PIKKs ATM, DNA-PK, mTOR and PI3K (Kis of 16 μM, 2.2 μM, >1 μM and 3.9 μM, respectively. VE-821 alone commits a large fraction of cancer cell populations to death, but it only reversibly limits cell cycle progression in normal cells, with minimal death or long-term detrimental effects. VE-821 along with cisplatin treatment shows the most marked synergy. VE-821 inhibits H2AX cell growth with IC50 of 800 nM.
