Alkylphospholipids are a class of antineoplastic compounds that display potent antiproliferative activity in several in vitro and in vivo human tumor models. Perifosine is an alkylphospholipid that induces apoptotic cell death in a variety of tumor cell lines. Apoptosis is induced in a time- and dose-dependent...

Perifosine is an alkylphospholipid analog that exhibits anticancer chemotherapeutic and anti-inflammatory activities. Perifosine directly inhibits Akt by binding at multiple sites. In macrophages, perifosine inhibits LPS-induced increases in TNF- and ERK activation and activates AMPK. In colorectal cancer,...
