摘要: The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinase plays an important role in regulating cell growth and cycle progression response to cellular signals. It is a key regulator proliferation many upstream activators downstream effectors mTOR are known be deregulated various types cancers. Since the signalling pathway commonly activated human cancers, researchers actively developing inhibitors that components some these drugs already on market. Numerous preclinical investigations have also suggested herbs natural phytochemicals, such as curcumin, resveratrol, timosaponin III, gallic acid, diosgenin, pomegranate, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCC), genistein 3,3'-diindolylmethane inhibit either directly or indirectly. Some compounds clinical trial stage. In this review, potential anti-cancer chemopreventive activities current status trials phytochemicals discussed.
