Abstract:

The over-activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mechanistic target of rapamcyin (mTOR) pathway is closely related to the occurrence, development and clinical prognosis of malignant tumors. Taking this signal pathway as a target can effectively inhibit tumor progression. At present, the Food and Drug Administration of the United States has approved three drugs (CAL-101, BAY80-6946, IPI-145) for the treatment of recurrent and refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which demonstrates significant efficacy and a manageable safety profile.

Key words: Lymphoma, Phosphatidylinositols, Molecular targeted therapy
