Alpelisib

ATC Code L01EM03

Alpelisib

Definition

An orally bioavailable phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. Alpelisib specifically inhibits PI3K in the PI3K/AKT kinase (or protein kinase B) signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting the activation of the PI3K signaling pathway. This may result in inhibition of tumor cell growth and survival in susceptible tumor cell populations. Activation of the PI3K signaling pathway is frequently associated with tumorigenesis. Dysregulated PI3K signaling may contribute to tumor resistance to a variety of antineoplastic agents.

Also known as ALPELISIB, BYL 719, BYL-719, BYL719, Phosphoinositide 3-kinase Inhibitor BYL719, Piqray, VIJOICE — per NCIT
