3CAI is a potential inhibitor of AKT. Based on these screening data, the effect of 3CAI on the kinase activities of AKT1, MEK1, JNK1, ERK1 and TOPK is tested using in vitro kinase assays. The results show that 3CAI (1 μM) suppresses only AKT1 kinase activity and the other kinases tested are not affected by 3CAI. 3CAI is a much more potent AKT1 inhibitor than PI3K (60% inhibition at 1 vs 10 μM, respectively). 3CAI substantially suppresses AKT1 activity as well as AKT2 activity in a dose dependent manner. 3CAI inhibits down-stream targets of AKT and induces apoptosis. AKT-mediated phosphorlyation site of mTOR (Ser2448) and GSK3β (Ser9) are substantially decreased by 3CAI in a time-dependent manner. Furthermore, pro-apoptotic marker proteins p53 and p21 are also upregulated by 3CAI after 12 or 24 h of treatment. HCT116 and HT29 colon cancer cells are seeded on 6 cm dishes in 1% FBS/McCoy's 5A (HCT116) with 3CAI (4 μM), I3C or the AKT inhibitor and then incubated for 4 days. Results show that the number of apoptotic cells is significantly increased by 3CAI in HCT116 and HT29 colon cancer cells compared with untreated control cells[1].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (10.74 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.

Protocol
The kinase assay is performed. Briefly, the reaction is carried out in the presence of 10 μCi of [γ-32P]ATP with each compound (e.g., 3CAI, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 μM) in 40 μL of reaction buffer containing 20 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 10 mM MgCl2, 10 mM MnCl2, and 1 mM dithiothreitol. After incubation at room temperature for 30 min, the reaction is stopped by adding 10 μL protein loading buffer and the mixture is separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The relative amounts of incorporated radioactivity are assessed by autoradiography[1].

HCT116 or HCT29 colon cancer cells are plated into 60-mm culture dishes (1×105 cells/dish) and incubated for 1 day in medium containing 10% FBS. The culture medium is then replaced with a 1% serum medium and cultured for 4 days with 3CAI (4 μM), I3C or a commercial AKT inhibitor. The cells are collected by trypsinization and washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The cells are resuspended in 200 μL of binding buffer. Annexin V staining is accomplished. The cells are observed under a fluorescence microscope using a dual filter set for FITC and propidium iodide and then analyzed by flow cytometry[1].

Mice[1]
Athymic mice [Cr:NIH(S), NIH Swiss nude, 6-9 wk old] are divided into five groups: 1) untreated vehicle group (n=15); 2) 20 mg 3CAI/kg of body weight (n=15), 3) 30 mg 3CAI/kg body weight (n=15); 4) 100 mg I3C/kg of body weight (n=15); 5) no cells and 30 mg 3CAI/kg of body weight (n=15). HCT116 cells (3×106 cells/100 μL) are suspended in serum free McCoy's 5A medium and inoculated subcutaneously into the right flank of each mouse. 3CAI, I3C or vehicle is administered orally 5 times per week for 21 days. Tumor volume is calculated. Mice are monitored until tumors reach 1 cm3 total volume, at which time mice are euthanized and tumors are extracted.
