BEZ235

BEZ235 inhibits PI3K and mTORC1/2, exhibiting anticancer chemotherapeutic activity. In nasopharyngeal cancer cells, BEZ235 induces G1 phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis; in similar animal models of nasopharyngeal or cholangiocarcinoma, this compound inhibits tumor growth. BEZ235 also induces apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells, also potentially inducing autophagy.
