(+)-Neoalbaconol
(+)-Neoalbaconol is a selective Akt/PDK1 inhibitor (with an IC50 of 10 μM against hPDK1). (+)-Neoalbaconol selectively inhibits cancer cell proliferation, and induces energy depletion, apoptosis, autophagy and necroptosis in cancer cells. In addition, (+)-Neoalbaconol downregulates cIAP1/2 and TRAFs to activate non-canonical NF-κB and promote TNFα transcription, blocks EGFR-mediated VEGF production and receptor activation, and mediates cell necrosis via the RIPK3-ROS-dependent pathway. (+)-Neoalbaconol can be used in research related to nasopharyngeal carcinoma, melanoma, breast cancer and gastric cancer.
