MK-2206 2HCl

Description

MK-2206 (CAS 1032350-13-2) is a potent and selective allosteric inhibitor of Akt (IC50’s: Akt1 = 5 nM, Akt2 = 12 nM, Akt3 = 65 nM) that enhances the?in vitro?and?in vivo?antitumor efficacy of several standard chemotherapeutic agents.1?It was able to decrease insulin-stimulated glucose uptake, glycogen synthesis and glycogen synthase activity in rat muscle.2?MK-2206 induced G1-phase cycle arrest and sensitized HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis.3

The Uses of MK-2206 2HCl

A highly selective inhibitor of Akt. Akt1, IC50=8 nM; Akt2, IC50=12 nM; Akt3, IC50=65 nM.

The Uses of MK-2206 2HCl

AZD 6244 and MK 2206 are targeted small-molecule drugs that inhibit MEK and AKT responses. The combination of AZD6244 and MK2206 has a significant synergistic effect on tumor growth in vitro and in vivo and leads to increased survival rates in mice bearing highly aggressive human lung tumors. Antitumor agents. Potent AKT inhibitor.

What are the applications of Application

MK-2206 dihydrochloride is a highly selective pan-Akt inhibitor activated by the pleckstrin homology domain.

Storage

-20°C
