Description
OSI-027 is an inhibitor of mTORC1/2 that exhibits anticancer chemotherapeutic activity. In vitro, OSI0027 inhibits phosphorylation of downstream target Akt, inhibiting cell proliferation in breast cancer cells. OSI-027 also induces apoptosis in several lymphoid cell lines including mantle cell lymphoma, acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), and others. In animal models of cancer, this compound inhibits tumor growth.
