MK-2206 is a drug candidate being investigated to help treat cancer. Its chemical formula is C25H21N5O.[1] It acts as an allosteric AKT inhibitor.[2]

It is a highly selective inhibitor of pan-Akt, namely, of all three Akt isoforms Akt1, Akt2, and Akt3.[1]

It is intended to be used with other cancer therapies that advanced tumours may become resistant to.[3]
