Abstract

From a HTS campaign, a new series of pyrimidone anilides exemplified by compound 1 has been identified with good inhibitory activity for the PI3Kβ isoform. The structure of compound 1 in PI3Kγ was solved revealing a binding mode in agreement with the SAR observed on PI3Kβ. These compounds displayed inhibition in the nanomolar range in the biochemical assay and were also potent p-Akt inhibitors in a PTEN-deficient PC3 prostate cancer cell line. Optimization of in vitro pharmocokinetic properties led to compound 25 exhibiting 52% bioavailability in mice and target engagement in an acute PK/PD study.
