Akt inhibitors

Akt inhibitors are drugs designed to block a protein called Akt, which plays a key role in cell growth, survival, and metabolism. In many cancers, Akt becomes overactive, helping cancer cells grow and resist treatment. By inhibiting Akt, these drugs aim to slow down or stop cancer cell growth, making them useful in cancer therapy. Akt inhibitors are typically targeted treatments that interfere with specific molecules involved in cancer progression, improving the effectiveness of cancer treatments and reducing damage to normal cells.
