SAR405 is a selective ATP-competitive inhibitor of Vps34 with a Kd value of 1.5 nM.

Vps34 is a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) class III isoform that plays important role in autophagy. Vps34 was originally described in yeast to be involved in vesicle trafficking. SAR405 is a first-in-class catalytic Vps34 inhibitor and represents a unique pharmacological tool to investigate the biology around this protein. This compound has an exquisite protein and lipid kinase selectivity profile that is explained by its unique binding mode and molecular interactions within the ATP binding cleft of human Vps34. This is the first potent and specific Vps34 inhibitor described so far. Inhibition of Vps34 kinase activity by SAR405 affects both late endosome-lysosome compartments and prevents autophagy.

Using SAR405, inhibition of Vps34 did not affect early events of endocytosis but resulted in an accumulation of swollen late endosome-lysosomes. A defect of cathepsin D maturation was also identified upon treatment with SAR405, indicating that the function of lysosomes is impaired. This result is in agreement with a previous report using Vps34 siRNA, which affects vesicle trafficking from late endosomes to
