Pharmacogenomic and in silico identification of isoform-selective AKT inhibitors from Pithecellobium dulce for precision cancer therapy

This study demonstrates that integrating pharmacogenomic profiling with multiscale molecular simulations can reveal isoform-specific vulnerabilities within the AKT signaling axis. Phytochemicals derived from Pithecellobium dulce, particularly oleanolic acid and rutin, emerge as promising selective modulators of AKT1 and AKT2, respectively. These findings provide a mechanistic and structural foundation for the development of isoform-guided AKT-targeted therapies and support further experimental validation toward precision oncology applications.
