Description

General description

A cell-permeable benzimidazole compound that inhibits Akt phosphorylation/activation presumably by targeting the ATP binding site of a kinase upstream of Akt, but downstream of PI3K. Shown to block Akt-mediated FOXO1a nuclear export (IC₅₀ = 625 nM) and cell proliferation (IC₅₀<1.25 µM) in 786-O cells. Unlike phosphatidylinositol analog-based Akt inhibitors (Cat. Nos. 124005, 124008, 124009), this inhibitor does not affect PI3K.
