Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects ![]() |
Activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is frequently associated with tumorigenesis and dysregulated PI3K/Akt signaling may contribute to tumor resistance to a variety of antineoplastic agents. Inhibition of PI3K-induced activation of this pathway by sonolisib, may result in inhibition of tumor cell growth and survival in susceptible tumor cell populations [2]. |
