Biological Activity

Cellular Effect

Cell Line Activity Value Description Reference
BSC-1 IC50 20 μM Antiviral activity was tested using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect HSV-1 (herpes simplex virus type 1) using BSC-1 cells [PMID: 10882371]
BSC-1 IC50 20 μM Antiviral activity against HSV-1 was determined using BSC-1 cells by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) [PMID: 10882373]
HFF IC50 0.8 μM HCMV plaque assay was performed using HFF cells and effect was calculated as a percentage of reduction in number of plaques [PMID: 10882371]

In Vitro Studies

The Triciribine studies reported dose-dependent TCN-P binding to the Akt1-derived PH domain, with a KD of 690 nM. Treatment of ALL-SIL cell lysates with 100 μM TCN-P identified 199 candidate interacting proteins through protein solubility analysis. In an immunoprecipitated Akt1 assay, TCN-P did not inhibit GSK3-β phosphorylation at concentrations up to 30 μM. [1,2]
