Application

Perifosine has been used as an alkyl phospholipid AKT inhibitor.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Perifosine (KRX-0401) is a selective bioavailable alkylphospholipid inhibitor of protein kinase B/Akt (PKB/Akt) with anti-proliferative activity. Perifosine acts on cell membranes, selectively targeting proliferating cells, inducing growth arrest and apoptosis.
Perifosine (octadecyl-(1,1-dimethyl-4-piperidylio)) is an antitumor compound. It acts at lipid rafts and stops lysosomal accumulation and mTORC1 (mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1) signaling. This drug exhibits significant antiproliferative activity in vitro and in vivo in various human cancer model systems.

The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is commonly activated in human cancers. The activity of mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling is supported by the intracellular positioning of cellular compartments and vesicle trafficking, regulated by Rab GTPases. Here we showed

Autophagy facilitates the adaptation to nutritional stress. Here, we show that short-term starvation of cultured cells or mice caused the autophagy-dependent cellular release of acyl-CoA-binding protein (ACBP, also known as diazepam-binding inhibitor, DBI) and consequent ACBP-mediated feedback inhibition of autophagy.
