Abstract
The phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are lipid kinases that play a central role in control of cell growth, proliferation, migration, survival and angiogenesis, and drive the progression of tumors by activating phosphoinositidedependent kinase, protein kinase B (Akt) and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). The PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway has been shown to play an important role in cancer and has become an important target for anticancer drug development. An interest in targeting two important points along this critical signaling pathway has spurred the development of dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitors that could both prevent cancer cell proliferation and induce programmed cell death (apoptosis) by fully suppressing Akt activation. This review summarizes the developments of a diversity of small molecule dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitors in recent 10 years, with an emphasis on their structural features, the relevant biological activities, and the structure-activity relationships (SARs).
Keywords: Anticancer, anticancer agents, cancer, dual PI3K/mTOR kinase inhibitors, kinase inhibitors, PI3K, PI3K, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, PI3K signaling pathway, mTOR, structure-activity relationships, SARs.

Bioprospecting of Natural Products as Sources of New Multitarget Therapies
According to the Convention on Biological Diversity, bioprospecting is the exploration of biodiversity and indigenous knowledge to develop commercially valuable products for pharmaceutical and other applications. Bioprospecting involves searching for useful organic compounds in plants, fungi, marine organisms, and microorganisms. Natural products traditionally constituted the primary source of more than ...read more
Drugs and mitochondria
Mitochondria play a central role in the life and death of cells. They are not merely the center for energy metabolism but are also the headquarters for different catabolic and anabolic processes, calcium fluxes, and various signaling pathways. Mitochondria maintain homeostasis in the cell by interacting with reactive oxygen-nitrogen species ...read more
Mitochondria as a Therapeutic Target in Metabolic Disorders
Mitochondria are the primary site of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in mammalian cells. Moreover, these organelles are an important source of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in virtually any nucleated cell type. The modulation of a myriad of cellular signaling pathways depends on the mitochondrial physiology. Mitochondrial dysfunction is observed ...read more
