Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

KP372-1 is a specific Akt inhibitor. By blocking Akt signaling, KP372-1 has been shown to inhibit proliferation and to induce apoptosis of thyroid cancer cells. In acute myelogenous leukemia cells, KP372-1 is reported to inhibit the kinase activity of Akt, PDK1, and FLT3, decreasing the colony-forming ability of these cells.

Product Data
Biological target:
KP372-1 is an Akt inhibitor that inhibits proliferation and induces Apoptosis and anoikis.
In vitro activity:
Notably, this study found that KP372-1 is ~ 10- to 20-fold more potent than β-lapachone, another NQO1 substrate, against pancreatic cancer cells. Mechanistically, these data strongly suggest that reactive oxygen species produced by NQO1-dependent redox cycling of KP372-1 cause robust DNA damage, including DNA breaks. Furthermore, this study found that KP372-1-induced DNA damage hyperactivates the central DNA damage sensor protein poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) and activates caspase-3 to initiate cell death.

In vivo activity:
KP372-1 profoundly suppressed the growth of the H1299 xenografts implanted subcutaneously into nude mice versus vehicle (Figures 4D, 4E and S4C). Reference: Cell Metab. 2015 May 5;21(5):777-89. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25955212/
