Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Alpelisib selectively inhibits the activity of PI3K enzyme involved in various biological processes, including proliferation, survival, differentiation, and metabolism. Alpelisib targets this enzyme that appears to be mutated, leading to hyperactivation and cancer cell growth. Thus, Alpelisib results in the inhibition of the growth and survival of cancer cells.
