PI3K/mTOR-IN-17 is a dual PI3K and mTOR inhibitor with IC50 values of 1.21 µM (PI3K), and 0.21 µM (mTOR). PI3K/mTOR-IN-17 induces cells caspase-mediated apoptosis by arresting their growth in the G1-phase. PI3K/mTOR-IN-17 upregulates the levels of caspases-3, 7, 8, and 9, p53 expression and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. PI3K/mTOR-IN-17 suppresses the PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway. PI3K/mTOR-IN-17 can be used for research of cancer, such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)[1].
