Discovery of NVP-BYL719 a potent and selective phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase alpha inhibitor selected for clinical evaluation

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2013 Jul 1;23(13):3741-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2013.05.007. Epub 2013 May 14.

Abstract

Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase α (PI3Kα) is a therapeutic target of high interest in anticancer drug research. On the basis of a binding model rationalizing the high selectivity and potency of a particular series of 2-aminothiazole compounds in inhibiting PI3Kα, a medicinal chemistry program has led to the discovery of the clinical candidate NVP-BYL719.
