Exisulind-induced apoptosis in a non-small cell lung cancer orthotopic lung tumor model augments docetaxel treatment and contributes to increased survival.

abstract：:Rapamycin and its analogues are being tested as new antitumor agents. Rapamycin binds to FKBP-12 and this complex inhibits the activity of FRAP/mammalian target of rapamycin, which leads to dephosphorylation of 4EBP1 and p70 S6 kinase, resulting in blockade of translation initiation. We have found that RAP inhibits th...
