ATG-008 (onatasertib) is an orally available mTORC 1/2 inhibitor. ATG-008 inhibits the activity of mTOR, which may result in the induction of tumor cell apoptosis and a decrease in tumor cell proliferation. mTOR, a serine/threonine kinase that is upregulated in a variety of tumors, has an important role in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, which is frequently dysregulated in human cancers.
ATG-008 has been studied in clinical trials to treat a broad range of tumor types including multiple myeloma (MM), glioblastoma (GBM), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), etc.
About ATG-008
ATG-008 (onatasertib) is a promising oral mTORC 1/2 inhibitor that has been investigated in clinical trials to treat a variety of malignancies such as MM, GBM, HCC, NSCLC, DLBCL, etc. It works by inhibiting mTOR activity, which is often deregulated in cancer, leading to the induction of tumor cell apoptosis and decreased tumor cell proliferation. By targeting this crucial signaling pathway, ATG-008 could offer a much-needed therapeutic option for many cancer patients.
