Description:

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

MK2206 is an Akt inhibitor. MK-2206 significantly increased the efficacy of anticancer compounds that were substrates for the ABCG2 but not the ABCB1 transporter. MK-2206 alone (0.03-1 μM) did not significantly alter the viability of H460/MX20 and S1-M1-80 cancer cells, which overexpress the ABCG2 transporter, compared to cells incubated with vehicle. However, MK-2206 (0.3 and 1 μM) significantly increased the anticancer efficacy of mitoxantrone, SN-38 and topotecan, in H460/MX20 and S1-M1-80 cancer cells, as indicated by a significant decrease in their IC50 values,

More Info
MK-2206 is a novel allosteric Akt inhibitor. In vitro, MK-2206 synergistically inhibited cell proliferation of human cancer cell lines in combination with molecular targeted agents such as erlotinib (an epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor) or lapatinib (a dual epidermal growth factor receptor/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 inhibitor). Complementary inhibition of erlotinib-insensitive Akt phosphorylation by MK-2206 was one mechanism of synergism, and a synergistic effect was found even in erlotinib-insensitive cell lines. MK-2206 also showed synergistic responses in combination with cytotoxic agents such as topoisomerase inhibitors (doxorubicin, camptothecin), antimetabolites (gemcitabine, 5-fluorouracil), anti-microtubule agents (docetaxel), and DNA cross-linkers (carboplatin) in lung NCI-H460 or ovarian A2780 tumor cells. The synergy with docetaxel depended on the treatment sequence; a schedule of MK-2206 dosed before docetaxel was not effective. MK-2206 suppressed the Akt phosphorylation that is induced by carboplatin and gemcitabine. In vivo, MK-2206 in combination with these agents exerted significantly more potent tumor inhibitory activities than each agent in the monotherapy setting. These findings suggest that Akt inhibition may augment the efficacy of existing cancer therapeutics; thus, MK-2206 is a promising agent to treat cancer patients who receive these cytotoxic and/or molecular targeted agents.       
Biological target:
MK-2206 dihydrochloride (MK-2206 (2HCl)) is an allosteric AKT inhibitor with IC50s of 5 nM, 12 nM, and 65 nM for AKT1, AKT2, and AKT3, respectively.
In vitro activity:
The effect of MK-2206 on Akt phosphorylation was subsequently examined. Treatment with MK-2206 was performed at 0.1 and 1 µM for 48 h. As presented in Fig. 1B, MK-2206 treatment reduced the expression p-Akt in all pancreatic cancer cell lines. No changes in the levels of total Akt protein were observed. These results demonstrated that MK-2206 inhibited Akt phosphorylation in pancreatic cancer cells. Reference: Oncol Lett. 2020 Mar; 19(3): 1999–2004. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7039141/
In vivo activity:
Consistent with previous reports, the results of the present study demonstrated that MK2206 inhibited the phosphorylation of AKT and production of cytokines (IL-4, −5, −6 and −13) in a mouse model of TDI-induced asthma. In addition, the present study also revealed that MK2206 inhibited the phosphorylation of AKT in vitro. These results indicated a potential role for MK2206 in a clinical setting for the management of TDI-induced asthma.
