摘要: It is well established that the PI3K pathway plays a central role in various cellular processes can contribute to malignant phenotype. Accordingly, pharmacological inhibition of key nodes this signaling cascade has been focus developmental therapeutics. To date, agents targeting upstream receptor tyrosine kinases are best studied and have achieved greatest clinical success. Further downstream, despite efficacy certain tumor types, rapalogs somewhat disappointing clinic. Novel inhibitors PI3K, Akt, mTORC1 2 now passing through early phase trials. hoped these will circumvent some shortcomings lead meaningful benefits for cancer patients.
