Abstract
Breast cancer frequently occurs in women. Among the several types of breast cancers, almost 50% of breast cancers are caused by one or more gene mutations of the PI3K/mTOR/AKT pathway. Capivasertib, the first AKT inhibitor, was authorized by the US FDA on November 16, 2023.. It is used for the treatment of adult patients with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative metastatic breast cancer with at least one alteration on PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN. In this short perspective, Capivasertib's physicochemical properties, synthesis, mechanism of action, binding mode, pharmacokinetics, drug interaction studies, and treatment-emergent adverse events are discussed.
