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.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cell permeable: yes
Primary Target
Akt
Product does not compete with ATP.
Reversible: yes
Target IC50: 625 nM and <1.25 µM in blocking Akt-mediated FOXO1a nuclear export and cell proliferation, respectively, in 786-O cells

The chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter-transcription factor II (COUP-TFII) regulates cancer cell proliferation and invasion via complex molecular mechanisms. We aimed to investigate whether COUP-TFII modulates proliferation and invasion of the colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line HT-29. HT-29 cells were stably tranfected
