The World Health Organization's ATC classification organizes medical drugs based on therapeutic properties, chemical composition, and anatomy. It helps make essential medicines readily available globally and is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry.

| Capivasertib |
Capivasertib is a potent, selective inhibitor of the kinase activity of all 3 isoforms of serine/threonine kinase AKT (AKT1, AKT2 and AKT3). AKT activation in tumours is a result of upstream activation from other signalling pathways, mutations of AKT1, loss of Phosphatase and Tensin Homolog (PTEN) function and mutations in the catalytic subunit of PI3K (PIK3CA). Capivasertib reduces growth of cell lines derived from solid tumours and haematological disease, including breast cancer cell lines with and without PIK3CA or AKT1 mutations, or PTEN alterations. |
