In vitro
NVP-BEZ235 is an ATP competitor that potently and reversibly reduces the kinase activity of both p110 and mTOR. NVP-BEZ235 inhibits several PI3K pathway effectors, among them the serine/threonine-specific protein kinase Akt, the ribosomal protein S6, and the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E binding protein 1 (4EBP1) and induces nuclear translocation of forkhead transcription factor FKHRL1 (FOXO3a). The reported IC 50 s for Thr308-P-Akt and Ser473-P-Akt are 29 and 8 nmol/L, respectively, and 6.5 nmol/L for mTOR.
In vivo
The antitumor activity of NVP-BEZ235 was also evaluated in vivo using a xenograft model of BT474-derived cells overexpressing either the p110- a H1047R oncogenic mutation or an empty vector (mock control). NVP-BEZ235 significantly reduced tumor growth of both H1047R and empty vector control xenografts.
