摘要:
Amplification, overexpression, and elevated activation of Akt have been detected in many human malignancies making it an important target for cancer therapy. The Akt substrate-binding site offers a large number of potential interactions to an appropriately designed small molecule and can form the basis for the development of selective inhibitors. Here, we report the progression of GSK3 beta substrate-mimetic inhibitors towards the development of a potent, small molecule substrate-mimetic inhibitor of Akt. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
