BEZ235 (Tosylate)

Uses

A dual ATP-competitive inhibitor of PI3K and mTOR. p110α, IC50=4 nM; p110β, IC50=75 nM; p110δ, IC50=7 nM; p110γ, IC50=5 nM.

Biological Activity

bez235 is an imidazoquinoline derivative inhibiting both pi3k and mtor kinases with low nanomolar ic50s. it was well tolerated in preclinical animal studies as well as in
