Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods of selectively inhibiting Akt3 are provided. It has been discovered that 4-[(6-nitroquinolin-4-yl)amino]-N-[4-(pyridin-4-ylamino)phenyl]benzamide selectively inhibits Akt3. Because Akt3 modulates the suppressive function of natural Tregs and the polarization of induced Tregs, 4-[(6-nitroquinolin-4-yl)amino]-N-[4-(pyridin-4-ylamino)phenyl]benzamide can be used for modulating immune responses.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method of treating cancer comprising administering to a subject with cancer a composition comprising 0.01 to 50 mg/kg of 4-[(6-nitroquinolin-4-yl)amino]-N-[4-(pyridin-4-ylamino)phenyl]benzamide that selectively inhibits Akt3 by an amount effective to treat cancer. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the cancer is selected from the group consisting of bladder, brain, breast, cervical, colo-rectal, esophageal, kidney, liver, lung, nasopharangeal, pancreatic, prostate, skin, stomach, uterine, ovarian, testicular and hematologic cancers. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the composition comprising 4-[(6-nitroquinolin-4-yl)amino]-N-[4-(pyridin-4-ylamino)phenyl]benzamide reduces an immune suppressive response in the subject. 4. The method of claim 3 wherein the immune suppressive response that is reduced is selected from the group consisting of an immune suppressive function of natural Treg (nTreg) and induction of conventional T cells into induced Treg (iTreg). 5. The method of claim 4 wherein the immune suppressive function of nTreg is the secretion of one or more anti-inflammatory cytokines. 6. The method of claim 5 wherein the anti-inflammatory cytokine is IL10, TGFβ, or a combination thereof. 7. The method of claim 1 further comprising administering to the subject a second active agent. 8. The method of claim 7 wherein the second active agent is a compound selected from the group consisting of or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
