4BFR - PubMed Abstract:
Compelling molecular biology publications have reported the implication of phosphoinositide kinase PI3Kβ in PTEN-deficient cell line growth and proliferation. These findings supported a scientific rationale for the development of PI3Kβ-specific inhibitors for the treatment of PTEN-deficient cancers. This paper describes the discovery of 2-[2-(2,3-dihydro-indol-1-yl)-2-oxo-ethyl]-6-morpholin-4-yl-3H-pyrimidin-4-one (7) and the optimization of this new series of active and selective pyrimidone indoline amide PI3Kβ inhibitors. 2-[2-(2-Methyl-2,3-dihydro-indol-1-yl)-2-oxo-ethyl]-6-morpholin-4-yl-3H-pyrimidin-4-one (28), identified following a carefully designed methyl scan, displayed improved physicochemical and in vitro pharmacokinetic properties. Structural biology efforts enabled the acquisition of the first X-ray cocrystal structure of p110β with the selective inhibitor compound 28 bound to the ATP site. The nonplanar binding mode described herein is consistent with observed structure-activity relationship for the series. Compound 28 demonstrated significant in vivo activity in a UACC-62 xenograft model in mice, warranting further preclinical investigation. Following successful development, compound 28 entered phase I/Ib clinical trial in patients with advanced cancer.
