A-443654 exhibits a Ki of 160 pM, a 30,000-fold improvement in potency versus the initial lead molecule. A-443654 is 40-fold selective for Akt over PKA. A-443654 inhibits Akt1, Akt2, or Akt3 equally within cells. A-443654 reduces the P-GSK3 in a dose-responsive manner in all three cell lines. A-443654 inhibits the proliferation of tumor cells with EC50 of 0.1 μM. A-443654-induced morphological changes occur very rapidly (within 2 to 4 h) in both 10A and 10CA1a cells, with 10CA1a cells more sensitive to A-443654 than the 10A cells. A-443654 alone at 2 μM causes the 10CA1a cells, but not the 10A cells, to detach from the plate after 12 h, whereas 1 μM of A-443654 causes 10CA1a cells to detach from the plate after 12 h. FACScan Analysis of rapamycin and A-443654 effects on DNA content in 10A and 10CA1a cells. In contrast, A-443654 at 2 and 5 μM decreases Bcl-2 levels by 30 to 40% in the 10CA1a cells at 8h. The combination of rapamycin with 2 or 5 μM A-443654, however, markedly decreases Bcl-2 protein levels by appr 40 to 50% in the 10A cells and by appr 70% in the 10CA1a cells, respectively. A-443654 demonstrates the greatest selective effect on the mutant cells compared to the WT cells with greater than 3.5 fold relative growth inhibition of the mutant cells.
