Description
PF-04691502 inhibits PI3K and mTORC1/2, exhibiting anticancer chemotherapeutic and anti-angiogenic activities. In nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells, PF-04691502 induces G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, inhibiting proliferation. In similar animal models, PF-04691502 decreases tumor volume and weight. Additionally, PF-04691502 decreases tumor growth of bladder cancer tumors in vivo and decreases VEGF secretion and cell proliferation in vitro.
