Indication:

Treating advanced kidney cancer. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Torisel (Temsirolimus) is a kinase inhibitor. It works by preventing the growth of cancer cells.

Mechanism of action:

Torisel (Temsirolimus) is an inhibitor of mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin). Torisel (Temsirolimus) binds to an intracellular protein (FKBP-12), an the protein-drug complex inhibits the activity of mTOR that controls cell division. Inhibition of mTOR activity resulted in a G1 growth arrest in treated tumor cells. When mTOR was inhibited, its ability to phosphorylate p70S6k and S6 ribosomal protein, which are downstream of mTOR in the PI3 kinase/AKT pathway was blocked. In in vitro studies using renal cell carcinoma cell lines, Torisel (Temsirolimus) inhibited the activity of mTOR and resulted in reduced levels of the hypoxia-inducible factors HIF-1 and HIF-2 alpha, and the vascular endothelial growth factor.
