Outline of Final Research Achievements

ATP competitive kinase inhibitors have shown remarkable progress in the molecular targeting therapy for cancers. However, the identification of the new therapeutic target has been an important issue for the epoch-making drug discovery. We found that our Wnt/β-catenin signaling inhibitor (WSI) bound to a component of mTOR complex (mTORC), which is essential for mTORC functions. Therefore, we thought that pharmacological control of its function could become a new therapeutic strategy. In this study, we showed that WSI inhibited mTORC functions and controlled proliferation of cancer cells, and suggested usefulness of the component of mTORC as a new therapeutic target. This new target molecule may open up a next-generation drug discovery field.
