DESCRIPTION

3-Methyladenine is a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3k) inhibitor, blocking class I, class II, and class III PI3ks. This small molecule is reported to inhibit autophagy and apoptosis. The ability of 3-methyladenine to suppress the formation of electron microscopically visible autophagosomes suggests that it may be regarded as a specific inhibitor of autophagy.
