The frequent dysregulation of mTOR signaling in cancer makes it an attractive therapeutic target, and several types of mTOR inhibitors have been developed. Nanoparticle-based mTOR modulators are predicted to target various cancers and deliver as well as release drugs in a controlled manner, resulting in enhanced bioavailability and reduced side effects. This mini-review is focused on the molecular mechanism of nanoparticle-based mTOR modulator action as well as the current development of mTOR inhibitors using nanoparticles. Understanding the biological function of nanoparticle-based mTOR modulators will contribute to the development of efficient nano-therapeutics for the treatment of cancers.Keywords: mammalian target of rapamycin, cancer, rapalogs, mTOR kinase inhibitor, RapaLinks, nanotechnology, nanoparticlesYoon MSDove Medical Pressarticlemammalian target of rapamycincancerrapalogsmtor kinase inhibitorrapa-linksnanotechnologynanoparticlesMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 15, Pp 5767-5781 (2020)
