NSC 185058

NSC 185058 is an inhibitor of Autophagy used in studies of PI3K-Akt-mTOR Signaling and Autophagy. It is especially relevant when investigators need a named chemical input and interpretable readouts connected to growth-factor signaling, survival control, and nutrient-sensing outputs and autophagic flux, lysosomal turnover, and stress adaptation in autophagy and metabolism models.

By inhibiting Autophagy, NSC 185058 can be used to examine growth-factor signaling, survival control, and nutrient-sensing outputs and autophagic flux, lysosomal turnover, and stress adaptation. The autophagy modulator annotation adds relevance to autophagy-flux and lysosomal-response studies, together with downstream-response mapping in the same experimental setting. In autophagy and metabolism models, these readouts can be combined with viability, reporter, localization, biochemical conversion, or morphology endpoints to refine experimental interpretation.

Research Applications

• Target-focused assays involving Autophagy
• Pathway perturbation studies connected to PI3K-Akt-mTOR Signaling and Autophagy
• Concentration-response inhibition and target-dependence studies
• Autophagy-flux and lysosomal-response studies

Overall, NSC 185058 is appropriate when a defined chemical perturbant is needed to connect Autophagy with measurable biochemical, transcriptional, electrophysiological, imaging, or phenotypic readouts in autophagy and metabolism models. This profile is suited to mechanistic follow-up, comparative profiling, and assay optimization under defined exposure conditions.
