LY294002 (SF 1101) is a broad-spectrum inhibitor of PI3K, inhibiting PI3Kα, PI3Kδ, and PI3Kβ (IC50=0.5/0.57/0.97 μM). LY294002 is also an inhibitor of DNA-PK (IC50=1.4 μM) and an inhibitor of CK2 (IC50=98 nM). LY294002 activates apoptosis and autophagy.

LY-294002 hydrochloride (NSC 697286) is a synthetic molecule inhibitor of PI3Kα/δ/β (IC50: 0.5/0.57/0.97 μM, in cell-free assays); more stable than Wortmannin in solution, and also is a blocker of autophagosome formation.

SF1126 is a relevant pan and dual first-in-class PI3K/BRD4 inhibitor. SF1126 is an RGDS-conjugated LY294002 prodrug, which is designed to exhibit increased solubility and bind to specific integrins within the tumor compartment.

LY 303511 hydrochloride is a potent mTOR inhibitor

Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Val) is a metabolite of the sponge bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. NJ6-3-1 that can autoinduce production of antibacterial substances active against S. aureus when co-cultured at a low cell density. It induces neurite outgrowth and branching of chick cortical neurons in vitro when used at concentrations of 16 and 32 μM. It increases phosphorylation of the PI3K substrate Akt, and neurite outgrowth induced by cyclo(L-Phe-L-Val) can be blocked by the PI3K inhibitor LY294002 . Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Val) enhances axon sprouting of calcitonin gene-related protein positive (CGRP+) primary afferents in the spinal cord following crush injury and of serotonin neurons in uninjured spinal cord. Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Val) is also a bitter taste component of cocoa and roasted coffee.

LY303511, a structural analog of LY294002, selectively inhibits mTOR-dependent phosphorylation of S6K, unlike its counterpart, which acts as a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor. It effectively reduces cell proliferation in human lung epithelial adenocarcinoma cells by hindering G2/M phase progression and suppressing casein kinase 2 activity. Additionally, LY303511 enhances tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) sensitivity in HeLa cells resistant to TRAIL-induced apoptosis and blocks voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels.

LY303511, an inactive analogue of LY294002, is a mTOR inhibitor and no inhibition for PI3-K.

Mytoxin B is a macrocyclic endolipid that acts like LY294002 and is also an ADC cytotoxin (ADC cytotoxin). mytoxin B is able to exploit the PI3K/Akt pathway and thus induce apoptosis.
