Biochem/physiol Actions
Perifosine (KRX-0401) is a selective bioavailable alkylphospholipid inhibitor of protein kinase B/Akt (PKB/Akt) with anti-proliferative activity.
Perifosine (KRX-0401) is a selective bioavailable alkylphospholipid inhibitor of protein kinase B/Akt (PKB/Akt) with anti-proliferative activity. Perifosine acts on cell membranes, selectively targeting proliferating cells, inducing growth arrest and apoptosis.
Perifosine (octadecyl-(1,1-dimethyl-4-piperidylio)) is an antitumor compound. It acts at lipid rafts and stops lysosomal accumulation and mTORC1 (mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1) signaling. This drug exhibits significant antiproliferative activity in vitro and in vivo in various human cancer model systems.
