BX-795

CHIR-99021 (CT99021) ^New

CHIR-99021 (CT99021) is a GSK-3α and GSK-3β inhibitor with IC50 of 10 nM and 6.7 nM, respectively. CHIR99201 does not exhibit cross-reactivity against cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and shows a 350-fold selectivity toward GSK-3β compared to CDKs. CHIR99021 functions as a Wnt/β-catenin activator and induces autophagy.

Dorsomorphin (Compound C) ^New

Dorsomorphin is a potent, reversible, selective AMPK inhibitor with K_i of 109 nM in cell-free assays, exhibiting no significant inhibition of several structurally related kinases including ZAPK, SYK, PKCθ, PKA, and JAK3. Dorsomorphin selectively inhibits the BMP type I receptors ALK2, ALK3 and ALK6. Dorsomorphin is used in promoting specific cell differentiation and inducing cancer cell line autophagy.

MHY1485 ^New

MHY1485 is a potent, and cell-permeable mTOR activator, and also potently inhibits autophagy.

OSU-03012 (AR-12)

OSU-03012 (AR-12) is a potent inhibitor of recombinant PDK-1(phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1) with IC50 of 5 μM in a cell-free assay and 2-fold increase in potency over OSU-02067.

Features:A derivative of celecoxib with 10-fold greater antitumor activity, but lacks celecoxib's COX-2 inhibitory activity.

BX-912

BX912 is a potent and specific PDK1 inhibitor with IC50 of 12 nM, 9- and 105- fold greater selectivity for PDK1 than PKA and PKC in cell-free assays, respectively. In comparison to GSK3β, selectivity for PDK1 is 600-fold.

GSK2334470

GSK2334470 is a novel PDK1 inhibitor with IC50 of ~10 nM in a cell-free assay, with no activity at other close related AGC-kinases.

Rapamycin (Sirolimus)

Rapamycin (Sirolimus, AY 22989, NSC-2260804) is a specific mTOR inhibitor with IC50 of ~0.1 nM HEK293 cells.

MK-2206 2HCl

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.

Features:The first allosteric small molecule inhibitor of Akt to enter clinical development.

CHIR-99021 (CT99021) HCl

CHIR-99021 (CT99021) HCl is hydrochloride of CHIR-99021, which is a GSK-3α/β inhibitor with IC50 of 10 nM/6.7 nM; CHIR-99021 shows greater than 500-fold selectivity for GSK-3 versus its closest homologs Cdc2 and ERK2. CHIR-99021 is a potent pharmacological activators of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. CHIR-99021 significantly rescues light-induced autophagy and augments GR, RORα and autophagy-related proteins.

LY294002

LY294002 (SF 1101, NSC 697286) is the first synthetic molecule known to inhibit PI3Kα/δ/β with IC50 of 0.5 μM/0.57 μM/0.97 μM, respectively; more stable in solution than Wortmannin, and also blocks autophagosome formation. It not only binds to class I PI3Ks and other PI3K-related kinases, but also to novel targets seemingly unrelated to the PI3K family. LY294002 also inhibits CK2 with IC50 of 98 nM. LY294002 is a non-specific DNA-PKcs inhibitor and activates autophagy and apoptosis.
