An inhibitor of Akt activation; inhibits Akt-mediated nuclear export of FOXO1a (IC50 = 625 nM) and reduces phosphorylation of Akt at Ser473 and Thr308 in a dose-dependent manner; inhibits replication of PIV5 in HeLa cells (IC50 = 520 nM); reduces the growth of cancer cells (IC50 = 0.3 μM for both Jurkat and HeLa cells) via a reduction in mitochondrial polarization and increased production of ROS
