Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer worldwide characterized by poor and often limited or no response to current drug therapies. The PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway is a key regulator of cell proliferation and survival. Alterations in this pathway have been reported in many types of human cancer, including HCC. It has become evident that Akt inhibitors have great potential in cancer treatment. SC66 is a new allosteric Akt inhibitor that facilitates ubiquitination of Akt, favoring its degradation via the proteasome, thus inhibiting Akt signaling. In the present study, we investigated the anticancer activity of SC66 in HCC cell lines (HepG2, Huh7, Hep3B, PLC/PRF/5 and HA22T/VG…
