1-O-Octadecyl-2-O-methyl-sn-glycerol is a metabolite of a phosphotidylinositol ether lipid analog (PIA). PIAs are known to target the pleckstrin homology domain of the serine threonine kinase Akt and to induce apoptosis in cancer cell lines with high levels of endogenous Akt activity.
TBK1 IKKε-IN-4 is a 6-aminopyrazolopyrimidine derivative and a potent, selective TBK1 and IKKε inhibitor with IC50 values of 13 nM and 59 nM, respectively. TBK1 IKKε-IN-4 shows 100- to 1000-fold less activity against other protein kinases including PDK1, PI3K family members and mTOR[1]. TBK1 IKKε-IN-4 (Compound II; 96 hours; A549 andHCC44 cells) treatmentdisplays selective toxicity in TBK1-dependent cancer cell lines (IC50 of ~ 4.2 μM for H441 cells and IC50 of ~0.4 μM for A549 cells)[1].TBK1 IKKε-IN-4 (Compound II; 0-2 μM; 30 minutes; HCC44 cells) treatment inhibits the AKT activity[1].TBK1 IKKε-IN-4 (Compound II) inhibits LPS-induced expression of IFNβ (IC50 =62 nM), and the IFNβ target genes IP10 (IC50 =78 nM) and Mx1 (IC50=20 nM). TBK1 IKKε-IN-4 effectively blocksTLR3-dependent IRF3 nuclear translocation in cells with an IC50 under 100 nM, but does not impair TNFR1-dependent p65 NFκB nuclear translocation with doses as high as 20 μM[1].

Ipatasertib-NH2 (GDC-0068-NH2;RG7440-NH2) is a ligand for the target protein AKT used in PROTAC, binding to lenalidomide, a ligand of ubiquitin E3 ligase cereblon (CRBN), via a ten-hydrocarbon linker to form INY-03-041 for AKT degradation[1].
SKI-349 is a dual-target inhibitor of sphingosine kinase 1 2 (SPHK1 2) and microtubule assembly (MDA), exhibiting anticancer activity by inhibiting the vitality, invasion, and AKT mTOR signaling pathway of liver cells [1] [2].
