Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) is a lipid kinase and a promising therapeutic target for Cancer. Using structure-based drug design (SBDD), we have identified novel PI3K inhibitors with a dihydropyrrolopyrimidine skeleton. Metabolic stability of the first lead series was drastically improved by replacing phenol with aminopyrimidine moiety. CH5132799, a novel class I PI3K Inhibitor, exhibited a strong inhibitory activity especially against PI3Kα (IC(50)=0.014 μM). In human tumor cell lines with PI3K pathway activation, CH5132799 showed potent antiproliferative activity. CH5132799 is orally available and showed significant antitumor activity in PI3K pathway-activated human Cancer xenograft models in mice.
