CH5137291

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia


CH5137291 is a small molecule inhibitor that targets the PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway, which is crucial in the regulation of cell growth, proliferation, and survival. This compound has been studied for its potential therapeutic applications in various types of cancer.

Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]

CH5137291 functions by inhibiting the activity of phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), both of which are key components of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. This pathway is often dysregulated in cancer, leading to increased cell growth and survival. By inhibiting this pathway, CH5137291 can reduce tumor cell proliferation and induce apoptosis.

Pharmacokinetics[edit | edit source]

The pharmacokinetic profile of CH5137291 includes its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. Studies have shown that CH5137291 is orally bioavailable and can achieve significant concentrations in tumor tissues. It is metabolized primarily in the liver and excreted via the kidneys.

Clinical Trials[edit | edit source]

CH5137291 has been evaluated in several clinical trials to assess its efficacy and safety in patients with advanced solid tumors. These trials have demonstrated that CH5137291 can be effective in reducing tumor size in certain patient populations, particularly those with mutations in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.

Adverse Effects[edit | edit source]

Common adverse effects associated with CH5137291 include nausea, fatigue, diarrhea, and rash. More serious side effects may include hyperglycemia and pneumonitis.

Research and Development[edit | edit source]

Research on CH5137291 is ongoing, with studies focusing on its use in combination with other anticancer agents to enhance therapeutic efficacy. Preclinical studies have shown promising results when CH5137291 is used in combination with chemotherapy and other targeted therapies.
