Deforolimus inhibits the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a serine kinase of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) family that regulates protein synthesis, affecting cell growth and proliferation. mTOR is a downstream effector of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt and nutrient-sensing pathways which cancer cells need to proliferate.
Investigated for use/treatment in solid tumors, sarcoma, cancer/tumors (unspecified), endometrial cancer, prostate cancer, and bone metastases.
