Anticancer agent 235

Anticancer agent 235 (Compound 49) is a modulator for PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, that promotes the generation of ROS, reduces the mitochondrial membrane potential, and thereby inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells HCT116, Caco-2, AGS and SMMC-772 with IC50 of 0.35-26.9 μM. Anticancer agent 235 arrests the cell cycle at G2/M phase, and induces apoptosis in HCT116[1].
