Identification and characterization of NVP-BEZ235, a new orally available dual phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor with potent in vivo antitumor activity

TL;DR: The preclinical data show that NVP-BEZ235 is a potent dual PI3K/mTOR modulator with favorable pharmaceutical properties, and the compound was well tolerated, displayed disease stasis when administered orally, and enhanced the efficacy of other anticancer agents when used in in vivo combination studies.

NVP-BEZ235, a Dual PI3K/mTOR Inhibitor, Prevents PI3K Signaling and Inhibits the Growth of Cancer Cells with Activating PI3K Mutations

TL;DR: NVP-BEZ235 inhibits the PI3K/mTOR axis and results in antiproliferative and antitumoral activity in cancer cells with both wild-type and mutated p110-alpha, suggesting that skin may serve as surrogate tissue for pharmacodynamic studies.

NVP-BEZ235, a Dual PI3K/mTOR Inhibitor, PreventsPI3K Signaling and Inhibitsthe Growth of Cancer Cellswith Activating PI3K Mutations

TL;DR: NVP-BEZ235, a dual inhibitor of the PI3K and the downstream mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), was shown to have antiproliferative and antitumoral activity in cancer cells with both wild type and mutated p110-A as mentioned in this paper.
