Akt1 is known to play a role in the cell cycle. Moreover, activated Akt1 may enable proliferation CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED and survival of cells that have sustained a potentially APPLICATIONS mutagenic impact and, therefore, may contribute to acquisi tion of mutations in other genes. Akt1 has also been impli This application is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 13/529, cated in angiogenesis and tumor development. Studies have 459, filed Jun. 21, 2012, which claims priority to, and the shown that deficiency of Akt1 enhanced pathological angio benefit of, U.S. Ser. No. 61/500,889, filed Jun. 24, 2011. The genesis and tumor growth associated with matrix abnormali contents of each of these applications are incorporated herein ties in skin and blood vessels. Since it can block apoptosis, by reference in their entirety. and thereby promote cell survival, Akt1 is a major factor in many types of cancer. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, new compounds and methods for modulating 15 AKT genes, proteins and treating proliferation disorders, Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United including cancer, are needed. The present invention addresses States, exceeded only by heart disease. (Cancer Facts and these needs. Figures 2004, American Cancer Society, Inc.). Despite recent SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment, Surgery and radiotherapy may be curative if a cancer is found early, but The present invention provides, in part, Substituted imida current drug therapies for metastatic disease are mostly pal Zopyridinyl-aminopyridine compounds of formula I or II, and liative and seldom offer a long-term cure. Even with new methods of preparing the compounds of formula I or II: chemotherapies entering the market, the need continues for new drugs effective in monotherapy or in combination with 25 (I) existing agents as first line therapy, and as second and third HN line therapies in treatment of resistant tumors. Cancer cells are by definition heterogeneous. For example, N EN within a single tissue or cell type, multiple mutational "mechanisms' may lead to the development of cancer. As 30 X CO)4. N () Such, heterogeneity frequently exists between cancer cells taken from tumors of the same tissue and same type that have O originated in different individuals. Frequently observed mutational "mechanisms' associated with some cancers may differ between one tissue type and another (e.g., frequently 35 observed mutational "mechanisms' leading to colon cancer HN may differ from frequently observed “mechanisms' leading to leukemias). It is therefore often difficult to predict whether a particular cancer will respond to a particular chemothera peutic agent (Cancer Medicine, 5' edition, Bast et al., B.C. 40 Decker Inc., Hamilton, Ontario). Components of cellular signal transduction pathways that (II) regulate the growth and differentiation of normal cells can, HN when dysregulated, lead to the development of cellular pro N N liferative disorders and cancer. Mutations in cellular signal 45 rN-y ing proteins may cause Such proteins to become expressed or activated at inappropriate levels or at inappropriate times elN/ \ / during the cell cycle, which in turn may lead to uncontrolled cellular growth or changes in cell-cell attachment properties. For example, dysregulation of receptor tyrosine kinases by 50 mutation, gene rearrangement, gene amplification, and over NRR' expression of both receptor and ligand has been implicated in the development and progression of human cancers. HN AKT protein family, which members are also called pro tein kinases B (PKB) plays an important role in mammalian 55 cellular signaling. In humans, there are three genes in the AKT family: Akt1, Akt2, and Akt3. These genes code for wherein: enzymes that are members of the serine/threonine-specific X is NRR, OR, SRs or protein kinase family. Akt1 is involved in cellular survival pathways, by inhibitingapoptotic processes. Akt1 is also able 60 to induce protein synthesis pathways, and is therefore a key :::::: signaling protein in the cellular pathways that lead to skeletal muscle hypertrophy, and general tissue growth. Akt2 is an important signaling molecule in the Insulin signaling path way and is required to induce glucose transport.
