Product Description

Biological Activity

Description MK-2206 2HCl is a highly selective inhibitor of Akt1, Akt2 and Akt3 with IC50 of 8 nM, 12 nM and 65 nM, respectively.
Targets Akt1 Akt2 Akt3
IC50 8 nM 12 nM 65 nM [1]
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]
Clinical Trials MK-2206 is currently under Phase II clinical trial for treatment of ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer and fallopian tube cancer.
Features MK-2206 is the first allosteric small molecule inhibitor of Akt to enter clinical development.

Protocol(Only for 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.

Cell Lines HC11 cells
Concentrations 10 µM
Incubation Time 1 h
Results whole ADRP levels, estimated by Western blot , decreased only in the presence of MK -2206 and LY294002. In most cases, ADRP decorated the surface of small lipid droplets and appeared as little patches on large cytoplasmic lipid droplets. With the exception of SP600125, which induced a strong ADRP coating of almost all cytoplasmic lipid droplets (although this inhibitor did not increase ADRP synthesis), variation in the distribution of ADRP at the surface of lipid droplet was difficult to estimate, notably because the signal was faint and uneven.

Results Upon treatment with increasing concentrations of AEA from 0.1 to 10 mM (Fig. B–D) platelets were fully fluorescently marked as compared to control (Fig. A) and the increase in DAF 2 fluorescence intensity appears to be dose-dependent. In agreement with data shown in Figure 4, SR1(Fig. E) and MK2206 (Fig. F) abolished fluorescence intensity induced by AEA, while LY294002 (Fig. 5G) was less potent.
