NCIt definition : An orally bioavailable, pan-mutant selective inhibitor of the class I phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate
3-kinase (PI3K) catalytic subunit alpha (phosphoinositide 3-kinase alpha; PIK3CA;
PI3K p110alpha), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration,
pan-mutant-selective PI3K-alpha inhibitor RLY-5836 selectively targets and allosterically
binds to PIK3CA mutated forms, thereby preventing the activity of PIK3CA mutants.
This prevents mutant PIK3CA-mediated activation of the PI3K/Akt (protein kinase B)/mammalian
target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. This results in both apoptosis and growth inhibition
in PIK3CA mutant-expressing tumor cells. By specifically targeting PIK3CA mutants,
RLY-5836 may be more efficacious and less toxic than PI3K-alpha inhibitors that also
inhibit the wild-type (WT) form. Dysregulation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway is often
found in solid tumors and results in the promotion of tumor cell growth, survival,
and resistance to chemo- and radio-therapy. PIK3CA, one of the most frequently mutated
oncogenes, encodes the p110-alpha catalytic subunit of the class I PI3K.;
