Everolimus (RAD001), a Rapamycin Derivative, is a Selective and Orally Active mTOR1 Inhibitor
mTOR is a member of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase related kinase family of protein kinases. Meanwhile, mTOR is linked to other proteins and serves as the core component of two different protein complexes, mTOR complex 1 and mTOR complex 2. They regulate different cellular processes. Nonetheless, mTOR C1 phosphorylates p70...
RapaLink-1, a Third-Generation Bivalent mTOR Inhibitor, Combines Rapamycin with MLN0128
Glioblastoma (GBM), the most common primary brain tumor, represents one of the most aggressive cancers. The signaling from PI3K and AKT to mTOR is commonly dysregulated in GBM. But, blockade of these upstream targets minimally affects mTOR activity in glioma. Allosteric mTOR inhibitors, such as rapamycin, incompletely block mTORC1...
