| Mechanism of Action | FOXO3-targeting drugs modulate the PI3K/Akt/FOXO3 signaling pathway to promote FOXO3 nuclear translocation and transcriptional activity, enhancing autophagy, stress resistance, and apoptosis in cancer cells. Indirect activators increase FOXO3 expression or prevent its degradation, thereby amplifying cellular protective responses. |
