GDC-0349 (RG-7603) is a potent and selective ATP-competitive inhibitor of mTOR with Ki of 3.8 nM, 790-fold inhibitory effect against PI3Kα and other 266 kinases. Phase 1.

WAY-600 is a potent, ATP-competitive, and selective inhibitor of mTOR with an IC50 of 9 nM; it blocks mTORC1 P-S6K(T389) and mTORC2 P-AKT(S473) but not P-AKT(T308), and is selective for mTOR over PI3Kα (>100-fold) and PI3Kγ (>500-fold).

L-Leucine ((S)-Leucine) is one of nine essential amino acids in humans (provided by food), L-Leucine is important for protein synthesis and many metabolic functions. L-Leucine contributes to regulation of blood-sugar levels; growth and repair of muscle and bone tissue; growth hormone production; and wound healing. L-Leucine also prevents breakdown of muscle proteins after trauma or severe stress and may be beneficial for individuals with phenylketonuria. L-Leucine is available in many foods and deficiency is rare.

(+)-Usnic acid (D-Usnic Acid) is a naturally occurring dibenzofuran derivative found in several lichen species.

Vistusertib (AZD2014) is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) with potential antineoplastic activity.

ETP-46464 is an effective and specific ATR inhibitor (IC50: 25 nM).

Dactolisib (BEZ235) is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of PI3K and mTOR, with IC50 values of 4 nM for p110α, 5 nM for p110γ, 7 nM for p110δ, 75 nM for p110β, and 20.7 nM for mTOR.

PF-04691502 is a potent and selective inhibitor of PI3K and mTOR kinases with antitumor activity.

PQR620 is a novel potent and selective, brain penetrant inhibitor of mTORC1/2.

MT 63-78 is a specific and effective direct AMPK activator (EC50: 25 μM) that blocks prostate cancer growth by inhibiting the lipogenesis and mTORC1 pathways. It has antitumor effects and induces cell mitotic arrest and apoptosis.

PQR530 is a highly potent dual pan-PI3K/mTORC1/2 inhibitor. PQR530 inhibited protein kinase B (PKB, pSer473) and ribosomal protein S6 (pS6, pSer235/236) phosphorylation with IC50 values of 0.07 μM. It also showing antitumor activity.

Everolimus (SDZ-RAD) is a potent mTOR inhibitor that binds to FKBP-12. It is used alone or in combination with calcineurin inhibitors.

Sapanisertib (INK 128) is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of raptor-mTOR (TOR complex 1 or TORC1) and rictor-mTOR (TOR complex 2 or TORC2) with potential antineoplastic activity.

Omipalisib (GSK2126458) is a small-molecule pyridylsulfonamide inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) with potential antineoplastic activity.
