NCIt synonyms : WHO 10490; 2-Pyridinamine, 3-(3-(4-(1-Aminocyclobutyl)phenyl)-5-phenyl-3H-imidazo(4,5-b)pyridin-2-yl)-;
NCIt definition : An orally bioavailable inhibitor of the serine/threonine protein kinase AKT (protein
kinase B) with potential antineoplastic activity. Miransertib binds to and inhibits
the activity of AKT in a non-ATP competitive manner, which may result in the inhibition
of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. This may lead to the reduction in tumor cell proliferation
and the induction of tumor cell apoptosis. The AKT signaling pathway is often deregulated
in cancer and is associated with tumor cell proliferation, survival and migration.;
