BEZ235, known as Dactolisib, represents a promising dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor (IC50 = 4, 5, 7 and 75 nM for PI 3-Kα, -γ, -δ, and -β, respectively) with immense therapeutic potential against various cancer types. Functioning as a small molecule, it has undergone extensive preclinical and clinical trials. BEZ235 exhibits a broad spectrum of biological activities, encompassing anti-tumor, anti-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic effects. Demonstrating high target specificity, it has displayed remarkable antiproliferative activity in animal models of cancer, targeting tumor cell lines. The mechanism of action of BEZ235 revolves around the inhibition of two signaling pathways: the PI3K/Akt and mTOR pathways. The PI3K/Akt pathway governs cell survival, proliferation, and metastasis, while the mTOR pathway regulates cell growth and metabolism. By inhibiting these pathways, BEZ235 effectively suppresses tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Furthermore, BEZ235 has been observed to induce apoptosis and inhibit inflammation in various cell lines. Notably, BEZ235 also acts as an inhibitor of ATR (IC50 = 21nM).
