Allosteric inhibitors of Akt1 and Akt2: discovery of [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-f][1,6]naphthyridines with potent and balanced activity.

A series of [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-f][1,6]naphthyridine allosteric dual inhibitors of Akt1 and 2 have been developed. These compounds have been shown to have potent dual Akt1 and 2 cell potency. The representative compound 13 provided potent inhibitory activity against Akt1 and 2 in vivo in a mouse model.
