SH-5 is an inhibitor of Akt (PKB) activation without affecting activation of the upstream kinase PDK-1, or other kinases downstream of Ras such as MAPK. SH-5 induces apoptosis and kills a variety of cancer cell lines containing high levels of active Akt and depending upon Akt for survival. SH-5 is an activator of p38 alpha.
