Temsirolimus is a specific inhibitor of mTOR and interferes with the synthesis of proteins that regulate proliferation, growth, and survival of tumor cells. Though temsirolimus shows activity on its own, it is also known to be converted to sirolimus (rapamycin) in vivo; [4] therefore, its activity may be more attributed to its metabolite rather than the prodrug itself (despite claims to the ...
