Integration of Different “-omics” Technologies Identifies Inhibition of the IGF1R-Akt-mTOR Signaling Cascade Involved in the Cytotoxic Effect of Shikonin against Leukemia Cells

Table 2

Calculation of binding energies of shikonin and key proteins of the IGF1R-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway. Virtual screening was performed using the AutoDock Vina software.
