Triciribine

Triciribine is an adenosine analog that targets protein kinase B (Akt) with an IC₅₀ value of 130nM and has antitumor activity^{[1, 2]}. Triciribine is a DNA synthesis inhibitor of HIV-1 with an IC₅₀ value of 20nM^[3].

In vitro, treatment of prostate cancer PC-3 cells with Triciribine (10μM) for 24h enhanced apoptosis induced by TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and anti-CD95^[4]. Treatment of bovine cumulus-oocyte complex (COC) with Triciribine (1μM) for 22h resulted in an increase in the rate of blastocyst formation and increased the in vitro yield of bovine embryos^[5].

In vivo, treatment of C57BL/6 J mice with Triciribine (1, 2mg/kg/day) by intraperitoneal injection for 2 weeks significantly increased the level of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) in the liver of mice^[6]. Triciribine (1mg/kg/day) was intraperitoneally injected into mice inoculated with GFP⁺ Huh7 cells for 14 days, which significantly inhibited the growth of tumors in mice and exerted a synergistic effect when combined with rosiglitazone^[7].

Triciribine是一种腺苷类似物，靶向抑制蛋白激酶B（Akt），IC₅₀值为130nM，具有抗肿瘤活性^{[1, 2]}。Triciribine是HIV-1的DNA合成抑制剂，IC₅₀值为20nM^[3]。

在体外，Triciribine（10μM）处理前列腺癌PC-3细胞24h，增强了TNF相关凋亡诱导配体（TRAIL）和抗CD95诱导的细胞凋亡^[4]。Triciribine（1μM）处理牛卵丘-卵母细胞复合物（COC）22h，导致囊胚生成速率增加，增加了牛胚胎的体外产量^[5]。

在体内，Triciribine（1, 2mg/kg/day）通过腹腔注射处理C57BL/6 J小鼠2周，显著增加了小鼠体内肝脏内低密度脂蛋白受体（LDLR）的水平^[6]。Triciribine（1mg/kg/day）通过腹腔注射治疗接种GFP⁺ Huh7细胞的小鼠14天，显著抑制了小鼠体内肿瘤的生长，与罗格列酮联合治疗发挥协同效应^[7]。
