0.63mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 12.5 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL of Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify; then continue to add 500 μL of ddH2O to make it clear. Volume up to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description MK-2206 2HCl is a highly selective inhibitor of Akt1/2/3 with IC50 of 8 nM/12 nM/65 nM in cell-free assays, respectively; no inhibitory activities against 250 other protein kinases observed. MK-2206 2HCl induces autophagy and apoptosis in cancer cells. Phase 2.

In vitro MK-2206 is an allosteric inhibitor and is activated by the pleckstrin homology domain. MK-2206 inhibits auto-phosphorylation of both Akt T308 and S473. MK-2206 also prevents Akt-mediated phosphorylation of downstream signaling molecules, including TSC2, PRAS40 and ribosomal S6 proteins. [1] MK-2206 inhibits Ras wild-type (WT) cell lines (A431, HCC827, and NCI-H292) more potently when compared to Ras-mutant cell lines (NCI-H358, NCI-H23, NCI-H1299, and Calu-6). MK-2206 also shows synergistic responses in combination with cytotoxic agents such as erlotinib or lapatinib in lung NCI-H460 or ovarian A2780 tumor cells. [2] MK-2206 or siRNA-mediated Akt inhibition strongly activates autophagy in human glioma cells. However, eukaryotic elongation factor-2 (eEF-2) silencing suppresses MK-2206-induced-autophagy, with a promotion of apoptotic cell death. [3]
In vivo MK-2206 shows 60% TGI and inhibits more than 70 % of phospho-Akt1/2 (T308 and S473) in A2780 ovarian cancer xenografts at a dose of 240 mg/kg. [1] MK-2206 exhibits significant antitumor activity in NCI-H292 xenograft in combination with erlotinib or lapatinib. [2]
Features The first allosteric small molecule inhibitor of Akt to enter clinical development.

Protocol (from reference)

Kinase Assay:

[4]
  • Akt kinases assay

    Akt kinases are assayed by a GSK-derived biotinylated peptide substrate. The extent of peptide phosphorylation is determined by Homogeneous Time Resolved Fluorescence (HTRF) using a lanthanide chelate (Lance)-coupled monoclonal antibody specific for the phosphopeptide in combination with a streptavidin-linked allophycocyanin (SA-APC) fluorophore which will bind to the biotin moiety on the peptide. When the Lance and APC are in proximity, a non-radiative energy transfer takes place from the Lance to the APC, followed by emission of light from APC at 655 nm. Working Solution: 100X protease inhibitor cocktail (PIC): 1mg/mL benzamidine, 0.5 mg/mL pepstatin, 0.5 mg/mL leupeptin, 0.5 mg/mL aprotinin; 10X assay buffer: 500 mM HEPES, pH7.5, 1% PEG, 16.6 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 1% BSA, 20 mM 9-glycerol phosphate; Quench buffer 50 mM HEPES pH 7.3, 16.6 mM EDTA, 0.1% BSA, 0.1% Triton X-100, 0.17 nM labeled monoclonal antibody, 0.0067 mg/mL SA-APC; ATP/MgCl2 working solution: 1X Assay buffer, 1 mM DTT, 1X PIC, 5% glycerol, active Akt; Peptide working solution: 1X Assay buffer, 1 mM DTT, 1X PIC, 5% glycerol, 2 TM GSK biotinylated peptide. The reaction is assembled by adding 16 µL of ATP/MgCl2 working solution to the appropriate wells. MK-2206 or vehicle (1.0 µL) is added followed by 10 µL of peptide working solution. The reaction is started by adding 13 μL of the enzyme working solution and mixing. The reaction is allowed to proceed for 50 min and then stopped by the addition of 60 µL HTRF quench buffer. The stopped reactions are incubated at room temperature for at least 30 min and then read in the instrument.
