PI3 kinase inhibitor

PI3 kinase inhibitors are a class of medication that works by blocking the action of PI3 kinases, a type of enzyme that plays a significant role in cell functions such as growth, proliferation, differentiation, motility, survival and intracellular trafficking. They are mainly used in the treatment of various types of cancers.

“when you combine a ketogenic diet with a pi3 kinase inhibitor at least in animal studies which is about the extent of where this has been studied so far the results look really good because pi3 kinase inhibitors by themselves have not panned out even though theoretically they should be amazing for cancer”
