Product Description
3CAI is a potent and specific AKT1 and AKT2 inhibitor.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
3CAI has the ability to inhibit AKT. In vitro kinase assays were used to test the impact of 3CAI on the kinase activities of AKT1, MEK1, JNK1, ERK1, and TOPK based on these screening data. The findings indicated that 3CAI (1 μM) did not have any effect on the other kinases tested; instead, it only inhibited the activity of AKT1 kinase. AKT1 is more effectively inhibited by 3CAI than by PI3K, with 60% inhibition at 1 μM and 10% at 10 μM, respectively. Both AKT1 and AKT2 activity were markedly suppressed by 3CAI in a dose-dependent manner. Apoptosis is induced and AKT downstream targets are inhibited by 3CAI. The AKT-mediated phosphorylation sites of GSK3β (Ser9) and mTOR (Ser2448) were markedly and time-dependently decreased by 3CAI. Furthermore, following 12 or 24 hours of treatment, 3CAI also increased the levels of the pro-apoptotic marker proteins p53 and p21. In 6 centimeter dishes, HCT116 and HT29 colon cancer cells were seeded with 1% FBS/McCoy's 5A (HCT116) supplemented with 3CAI (4 μM), I3C, or AKT inhibitor, and incubated for four days. The findings demonstrated that, in comparison to untreated control cells, the number of apoptotic cells in HCT116 and HT29 colon cancer cells was significantly higher following 3CAI treatment [1].
ln Vivo
In order to investigate the in vivo anticancer activity of 3CAI, individual athymic nude mice were given injections of HCT116 cancer cells into their right flank. For a period of 21 days, mice were given vehicle, I3C (100 mg/kg), or 3CAI (20 or 30 mg/kg) orally five times a week. Treatment of mice with 30 mg/kg 3CAI effectively decreased the growth of HCT116 tumors by 50% (p<0.05) as compared to the vehicle treatment group. Interestingly, mice who received these dosages of 3CAI therapy did not exhibit any overt toxicity or appreciable weight loss as compared to the group that received vehicle treatment. The expression of these AKT target proteins is significantly inhibited by 3CAI at 30 mg/kg in tumor tissue [1].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~250 mg/mL (~1291.12 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (10.74 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (10.74 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
