Everolimus | Afinitor | RAD001|Zortress | mTORC1 Inhibitor 9 | Afinitor (everolimus) binds to FKBP-12 and allosterically inhibits mTOR, leading to decreased mTORC1 signaling and potentially resulting in decreased tumor cell growth (PMID: 17766661, PMID: 28400999). Afinitor (everolimus) is FDA approved for use in neuroendocrine tumors of pancreatic, lung or gastrointestinal tract origin, advanced renal cell carcinoma, in adult and pediatric patients aged 1 year and older with tuberous sclerosis complex who have subependymal giant cell astrocytoma, and in combination with Aromasin (exemestane) in hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer (FDA.gov). |
PLX4720 | PLX-4720|PLX 4720 | BRAF Inhibitor 25 | PLX4720 is a 7-azaindole derivative and RAF kinase inhibitor with greater affinity for BRAF V600E than BRAF wild-type, which may induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, and lead to tumor growth inhibition and regression (PMID: 18287029). |
