Mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)locates at the downstream of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase(PI3K)-protein kinase B(Akt)cell signal transduction pathway. Studies find that the abnormal activa-tion of this pathway is correlated with the endocrine and drug resistance of anti human epidermal growth factor receptor-2(HER-2)target therapy in breast cancer. The combination with mTOR inhibitors based on the past traditional drugs can block the pathway and reflect a favourable application prospect in preventing the develop-ment of resistance and restoring the initial sensitivity on tumor cells. mTOR inhibitors are expected to be the new hope for the treatment of breast cancer.

As one of the traditional computer simulation techniques, molecular simulation can intuitively display and quantify molecular structure and explain experimental phenomena from the microscopic molecular level. When the simulation system increases, the amount of calculation will also increase, which will cause a great burden on the simulation system. Coarse-grained molecular dynamics is a method of mesoscopic molecular simulation, which can simplify the molecular structure and improve computational efficiency, as a result, coarse-grained molecular dynamics is often used when simulating macromolecular systems such as drug carrier materials. In this article, we reviewed the recent research results of using coarse-grained molecular dynamics to simulate drug carriers, in order to provide a reference for future pharmaceutical preparation research and accelerate the entry of drug research into the era of precision drug design.
