Akt
PKB; Protein kinase B
Akt/PKB (Protein kinase B), a serine/threonine protein kinase with antiapoptotic activity, is one of the major downstream targets of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 signaling pathway. It contains a pleckstrin homology domain (PH domain) that specifically binds PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 on the plasma membrane. Akt phosphorylation and activation are directly determined by the level of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 on the plasma membrane, which is regulated by PI3K.
Akt consists of three isoforms: PKBα/Akt1, PKBβ/Akt2 and PKBγ/Akt3. Akt isoforms have an N-terminal PH (pleckstrin homology) domain and a kinase domain, which are separated by a 39-amino-acid hinge region. Catalytically active Akt regulates the function of numerous substrates involved in cell survival, growth, proliferation, metabolism and protein synthesis.
Akt is a crucial mediator of cell survival and its deactivation is implicated in various stress-induced pathological cell death and degenerative diseases.

Veratramine
0 ImagesVeratramine (NSC17821; NSC23880) is an orally active inhibitor of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway and a SIGMAR1 modulator. Veratramine induces autophagic apoptosis of tumor cells, arrests the cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase, and inhibits epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins to reduce tumor migration. Veratramine reduces spinal cord and sciatic nerve pathological damage in a neuropathy model by inhibiting SIGMAR1 binding to NMDAR and phosphorylation of NMDAR Ser896. Veratramine has anti-tumor proliferation, apoptosis induction, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities, and can be used in the study of cancers such as liver cancer and osteosarcoma, as well as diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

LC-2
0 ImagesLC-2 is an orally active PROTAC-class degrader targeting KRASG12C and a MAPK inhibitor. LC-2 shows higher selectivity for KRASG12C than wild-type KRAS and other KRAS mutants. LC-2 covalently binds to KRASG12C via the MRTX849 (HY-130149) warhead, recruits the VHL E3 ligase to form a ternary complex, and induces ubiquitination and degradation of KRASG12C. Meanwhile, LC-2 inhibits the MAPK signaling pathway, reduces the phosphorylation levels of CRAF and AKT, thereby inducing apoptosis and suppressing cancer cell and tumor growth. LC-2 can be used for the research of KRASG12C-positive cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer and colorectal cancer.
