General description
A cell permeable and reversible benzimidazole compound that inhibits Akt phosphorylation/activation by targeting the ATP binding site of a kinase upstream of Akt, but downstream of PI 3-K. Shown to block Akt-mediated FOXO1a nuclear export (IC50 = 625 nM) and cell proliferation (IC50<1.25 M) in 786-O cells. Unlike phosphatidylinositol analog-based Akt inhibitors (Cat. Nos. 124005, 124008, 124009), this inhibitor does not affect PI3K. A 10 mM (1 mg/163 l) solution of Akt Inhibitor IV in DMSO is also available.
