Abstract:
A series of PI3Kβ selective inhibitors derived from a novel 4-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)quinoline chemotype has been rationally designed. Crucial to achieving the desired selectivity over the other class I PI3K isoforms, including the challenging δ-isoform, was the identification of a subset of substituted pyridine hinge binders. This work led to the discovery of (P)-14, a highly selective and orally bioavailable PI3Kβ inhibitor displaying an excellent pharmacokinetic profile in addition to great cellular potency in various PTEN-deficient tumor cell lines. Results from a dog toxicology study revealing structure-related, off-target ocular toxicity are also briefly discussed.
