PI3K/Akt/mTOR-IN-2 is a potent PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitor with anticancer effects and selectivity for MDA-MB-231 cells (IC50 2.29 μM). It induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells.

PI3K/AKT/mTOR:2.29 μM

PI3K/Akt/mTOR-IN-2 (compound 23) (0.5 - 100 μM; 72 h) demonstrates significant anti-cancer efficacy, with IC50 values between 2.29 and 24.63 μM, notably 2.29 μM in MDA-MB-231 cells.[1] It induces growth inhibition in MDA-MB-231 cells by causing cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 (1, 2, and 4 μM; 24 h), elicits dose- and time-dependent apoptosis (1, 2, and 4 μM; 24, 48, and 72 h), increases Bax expression and decreases Bcl-2 expression (1, 2, and 4 μM; 48 h), and triggers mitochondria-dependent apoptosis by disrupting mitochondrial membrane potential, increasing ROS, reducing GSH levels, and elevating intracellular Ca2+ (1, 2, and 4 μM; 24 h).[1]
