AZD3409 is a prenyl inhibitor that exhibits inhibitory activity against both farnesyl transferase and geranylgeranyl transferase I. AZD3409 inhibits the growth of breast cancer cells, with IC50s of 220 nM (MDA-MB-468), 180 nM (MDA-MB-361), and 290 nM (SK-Br-3). AZD3409 significantly reduces the activation level of AKT in breast cancer cell lines. AZD3409 induces G0/G1 phase arrest in MDA-MB-468 cells, causes G2/M phase arrest in MDA-MB-361 cells. AZD3409 can be used for the study of breast cancer.
