Dual mTOR/PI3K inhibitor NVP‑BEZ235 arrests colorectal cancer cell growth and displays differential inhibition of 4E‑BP1
22 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a downstream effector of the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway, is a critical regulator of cell metabolism, growth and survival in response to oncogenic factors. Activation of mTOR frequently occurs in human tumours making it a crucial and validated target in the treatment of cancer. mTOR inhibitors such as rapamycin and its analogues decrease cancer progression in experimental...
