Isoleucine is an essential α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. L-isoleucine is commonly used in parenteral and enteral nutrition. It is used in combination with the other branched chain amino acids to improve the nutritional status of patients with hepatic diseases. BCAAs serve as important fuel sources for skeletal muscle during periods of metabolic stress

Phenformin is a biguanide hypoglycemic agent with actions and uses similar to those of metformin. It activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and inhibits mTORC1 signaling. Phenformin used for the treatment of diabetes. Phenformin was removed from the U.S. market 20 years ago because of a high incidence of lactic acidosis. Risk factors for the development of lactic acidosis include renal deficiency, hepatic disease, cardiac disease, and drug interaction such as cimetidine. Phenformin exerts potential anti-neoplastic action.

OSI-027 is an orally bioavailable mammalian inhibitor of mTOR kinase and has antineoplastic activity. OSI-027 binds to and inhibits of the catalytic site of mTOR, which is a central part of two protein complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2, which may result in tumor cell apoptosis and a decrease in tumor cell proliferation. OSI-027 is in phase I clinical trial for the investigation on patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma.

Sapanisertib is an oral dual inhibitor of mTORC1/mTORC2, discovered by Intellikine for the treatment of cancer. The drug is being tested in phase II of clinical trials for different cancers among which are sarcoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, etc. The drug is currently developed by Takeda with breast cancer, renal cancer and endometrial cancer being the main target indications.

XL388 is a selective small-molecule ATP-competitive inhibitor of mTOR kinase complexes mTORC1 and mTORC2. XL388 inhibited cellular phosphorylation of mTOR complex 1 (p-p70S6K, pS6, and p-4E-BP1) and mTOR complex 2 (pAKT (S473)) substrates. In vitro, XL388 inhibits the viability of solid and hematopoietic tumor cell lines when assayed as a single agent. XL388 also synergizes with chemotherapeutics in cell‐based assays to block cell viability. When dosed orally once daily in mice, XL388 shows robust anti‐tumor activity in multiple xenograft models. Exelixis has discontinued the development of XL388. The company intends to pursue a collaboration partner or other external opportunities for the development of XL388.
