Description
Akti-1/2 (Akt Inhibitor VIII) is a highly selective inhibitor with of 58 nM/210 nM, respectively, about 36-fold selectivity for Akt1 over Akt3. Akti-1/2 induces .
In vitro
In a cell-based IPKA (C33A) assay, Akti-1/2 inhibits Akt1 and Akt2 with IC50 of 305 nM and 2086 nM, respectively. In HT29, MCF7, and A2780 cells, Akti-1/2 induces cell apoptosis by dramatically increasing caspase-3 activity. In liver cells, Akti-1/2 blocks insulin regulation of PEPCK, G6Pase expression, and FOXO1 activity. Akti-1/2 also strongly potentiates PAR-1-mediated platelet aggregation by blocking PKB. In HCC827, NCI-H522, NCI-1651, and PC-9 cells, Akti-1/2 inhibits cell growth with IC50 of 4.7 μM, 7.25 μM, and 9.5 μM, when in combination with gefitinib, Akti-1/2 causes enhanced inhibition of cell growth and apoptosis.
