10-DEBC HYDROCHLORIDE

Uses

10-DEBC Hydrochloride is an AKT inhibitor. Study shows that efficacy and selectivity of tumor cell killing by Akt inhibitors are substantially increased by chloroquine.

Biological Activity

Selective inhibitor of Akt/PKB. Inhibits IGF-1-stimulated phosphorylation and activation of Akt (complete inhibition at 2.5 μ M), suppressing downstream activation of mTOR, p70 S6 kinase and S6 ribosomal protein. Shows no activity at PDK1, SGK1 or PI 3-kinase. Inhibits cell growth (IC 50 ~ 2-6 μ M) and induces apoptosis in rhabdomyosarcoma cells.
