Akt Inhibitor TAS-117 is an orally bioavailable allosteric and selective pan-inhibitor of the serine/threonine protein kinase Akt (protein kinase B; v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, Akt inhibitor TAS-117 targets, binds to and inhibits the activity of Akt, which may result in the inhibition of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt-mediated signaling. This may inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of tumor cells in which Akt is overexpressed. Activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is frequently associated with tumorigenesis and dysregulated PI3K/Akt signaling may contribute to tumor resistance to a variety of antineoplastic agents.
