ML-9 (Free Base) is a selective and potent inhibitor of Akt kinase, inhibits myosin light-chain kinase (MLCK) and stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) activity[3]. ML-9 (Free Base) inhibits inhibits MLCK, PKA and PKC activity with Ki values of 4, 32 and 54 μM, respectively[1]. ML-9 (Free Base) induces autophagy by stimulating autophagosome formation and inhibiting their degradation[3].

ChEBI: 1-[(5-chloro-1-naphthalenyl)sulfonyl]-1,4-diazepane is a member of naphthalenes and a sulfonic acid derivative.
