APN AKT-IN-1 is a potent dual inhibitor of aminopeptidase N (APN) and protein kinase B (AKT), exhibiting IC50 values of 0.21 μM and 0.27 μM for APN and AKTinhibition, respectively. This compound effectively suppresses the phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3β), which serves as an intracellular substrate of AKT [1].
9-Decyn-1-ol is an alkyl ether-based PROTAC linker suitable for synthesizing PROTACs. It serves as a conjugation agent to combine GDC-0068 and Lenalidomide, resulting in the formation of INY-03-041. INY-03-041 is a potent and highly selective pan-Akt degrader that operates through the PROTAC mechanism. It effectively inhibits Akt1, Akt2, and Akt3 with IC50 values of 2.0 nM, 6.8 nM, and 3.5 nM, respectively[1].
