基于PI3K-AKT-mTOR信號通路和端粒酶逆轉(zhuǎn)錄酶靶標的小分子藥物的設計、合成及構(gòu)效研究

基于PI3K-AKT-mTOR信號通路和端粒酶逆轉(zhuǎn)錄酶靶標的小分子藥物的設計、合成及構(gòu)效研究摘要：

癌癥一直是全球醫(yī)學領域關注的熱點問題，而治療腫瘤的傳統(tǒng)方法已經(jīng)不能滿足臨床需求，因此需要尋找新的治療思路。PI3K/AKT/mTOR信號通路和端粒酶逆轉(zhuǎn)錄酶在腫瘤的發(fā)生發(fā)展過程中起著重要作用，成為了腫瘤治療中的熱門靶標。因此，本文基于PI3K/AKT/mTOR信號通路和端粒酶逆轉(zhuǎn)錄酶靶標，設計合成了一系列小分子藥物，并對其進行了構(gòu)效研究。結(jié)果顯示，所設計的化合物對于多種腫瘤細胞具有較好的抑制和殺傷作用，且對正常細胞的毒性較小。同時，實驗還發(fā)現(xiàn)所設計化合物能夠有效地干擾PI3K/AKT/mTOR信號通路和端粒酶逆轉(zhuǎn)錄酶的活性，抑制腫瘤的增殖和侵襲能力。因此，本文所設計的小分子藥物有望成為一種有效的抗腫瘤治療藥物。

關鍵詞：PI3K/AKT/mTOR，端粒酶逆轉(zhuǎn)錄酶，小分子藥物，腫瘤治療
