A-674563 is an Orally Active and Selective Akt1 Inhibitor
Akt1 belongs to the Akt subfamily of serine/threonine kinases, which contains the SH2 (SRC homologous 2-like) domain. Specifically, Akt kinase is the central node of the signal transduction pathway, which is important for cell transformation and tumor progression. Besides, Akt is a key mediator of growth factor-induced neuronal survival...
AKI603 is an Aurora Kinase A Inhibitor with Anti-tumor Activity
Chemoresistance is a major cause of cancer treatment failure. Tumor-initiating cells (TIC) have attracted a considerable amount of attention due to their role in chemoresistance and tumor recurrence. The inhibition of AurA kinase by AKI603 abrogates the epirubicin-induced enrichment of TICs.In this study, researchers evaluated the small molecule Aurora...
Telomestatin, a Potent Telomerase Inhibitor, Facilitates the Formation of Intramolecular G-quadruplexes
Telomestatin is a very potent telomerase inhibitor and can be isolated from Streptomyces anulatus 3533-SV4. It selectively facilitates the formation of intramolecular G-quadruplexes, in particular, that produced from the human telomeric sequence d[T2AG3]4. Firstly, in vitro, Telomestatin promotes or stabilizes the formation of the intramolecular G-quadruplex. When the DNA concentrations are at 0.005...
