Akt Inducer

Nrf2/HO-1 activator 1 (Compound 24) is a potent Nrf2/HO-1 activator, neuroprotective agent. Nrf2/HO-1 activator 1 shows neuroprotective and antioxidant activities. Nrf2/HO-1 activator 1 can be used in Parkinson's disease (PD) research.

Nrf2/HO-1 activator 2 (compound 13m), difluoro-substituted derivative, is a potent Nrf2/HO-1 activator. Nrf2/HO-1 activator 2 has neuroprotective and antioxidant effects through the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway mediated by phosphorylation of ERK1/2, JNK, or Akt in PC12 cells. Nrf2/HO-1 activator 2 can be used in the research of Parkinson's disease (PD).

AS1938909 is a compound that inhibits SHIP2 activity. It can selectively inhibit SHIP2, increase Akt phosphorylation, and regulate glucose metabolism. Its effect is related to upregulating GLUT1 gene expression.

Cryptanoside A, a cardiac glycoside epoxide, can be isolated from the stems of Cryptolepis dubia. Cryptanoside A has potent cytotoxicity against cancer cells. Cryptanoside A also inhibits Na+/K+-ATPase activity. Cryptanoside A increases the expression of Akt and the p65 subunit of NF-κB.

ALR2-IN-9 is a potent ALR2 inhibitor (IC₅₀ = 21.8 nM) with excellent antioxidant activity (EC₅₀ for DPPH radical scavenging = 2.8 μM). ALR2-IN-9 interacts directly with Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)/Reactive Nitrogen Species (RNS) and interrupts the free radical chain reactions, and as an endogenous enzymatic antioxidant regulator, which regulates enzyme functions of CAT and SOD. ALR2-IN-9 regulates PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 pathway to attenuate hyperglycemia-mediated mitochondrial superoxide overproduction in vitro, and ameliorates CuSO₄- and H₂O₂-induced oxidative stress in vivo. ALR2-IN-9 prolongs lifespan of C. elegans via the regulation of stress response genes such as PMK-1. ALR2-IN-9 is a promising anti-aging drug candidate. ALR2-IN-9 can be used for diabetic complication research.
