SH-5 Usage And Synthesis

Uses

SH-5 is a potent AKT inhibitor. SH-5 potentiates the apoptosis induced by tumor necrosis factor. SH-5 blocks NF-kB activation induced by TNF-a, lipopolysaccharide (HY-D1056), phorbol ester (HY-18739), and cigarette smoke[1].

Biological Activity

Cell permeable: yes', 'Primary Target
Akt', 'Product does not compete with ATP.', 'Reversible: yes

Enzyme inhibitor

This phosphatidylinositol analogue (FWfree-acid = 598.76 g/mol), also known as SH-5, inhibits the proto-oncogenic serine/threonine kinase Akt (protein kinase B), inducing apoptosis. Specific inhibition of Akt by these compounds validates ligand design targeted to the PH domains of crucial signaling proteins, thus providing a unique class of possible cancer therapeutics.
