The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway plays key roles in cellular proliferation and survival. Mutations and alterations in this signal transduction pathway have been described in a variety of solid and hematopoietic malignancies, which may contribute to perpetuation of the disease in a number of ways. Increasing interest in targeting particular facets of this signaling cascade has led to the development of a number of novel anticancer agents, including afuresertib (GSK-2110183), an orally bioavailable pan-inhibitor of the RAC-alpha serine/threonine protein kinase, also referred to as protein kinase B or proto-oncogene c-Akt. The present review summarizes the preclinical and pharmacological aspects of afuresertib and early clinical experience.
