To investigate the general suitability of mTOR as a target for inhibiting C. parvum infection, we also investigated the impact of PP242, a second compound for which mTOR inhibition is described in the literature as a mode of action [30], on C. parvum infection, applying the same experimental procedure (supplementation of inhibitors only before infection) as in the case of oleocanthal. This evidence concerns the gene MTOR and infection.
