Abstract

Starting from potent inhibitors of PI3Kα having poor general kinase selectivity (e.g., 1 and 2), optimisation of this series led to the identification of 25, a potent inhibitor of PI3Kα (wild type, E545K and H1047R mutations) and PI3Kδ, selective versus PI3Kβ and PI3Kγ, with excellent general kinase selectivity. Compound 25 displayed low metabolic turnover and suitable physical properties for oral administration. In vivo, compound 25 showed pharmacodynamic modulation of Akt phosphorylation and near complete inhibition of tumour growth (93% tumour growth inhibition) in a murine H1047R PI3Kα mutated SKOV-3 xenograft tumour model after chronic oral administration at 25mg/kg b.i.d. Compound 25, also known as AZD8835, is currently in phase I clinical trials.
