  • Patent number: 8772274
    Abstract: Anti-cancer compositions and methods are described including one or more compounds having the structural formula I: R2-R—R1, where R is phenyl, where R1 is (CH2)n—Se—C(?NH)—NH2, where R2 is (CH2)n—Se—C(?NH)—NH2 or R2 is H, and where each n is independently 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8. Methods of treating a subject are provided according to embodiments of the present invention which include administering a therapeutically effective amount of a composition including one or more compounds having the structural formula I to a subject having a condition characterized by Akt dysregulation. Administering a therapeutically effective amount of a composition including one or more compounds having the structural formula I to a subject detectably increases apoptosis and/or decreases proliferation of cancer cells, particularly cancer cells characterized by Akt dysregulation.
