Synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitory analogues of the sponge meroterpenoid liphagal

J Med Chem. 2010 Dec 23;53(24):8523-33. doi: 10.1021/jm100531u. Epub 2010 Dec 1.

Abstract

Analogues of the sponge meroterpenoid liphagal have been synthesized and evaluated for inhibition of PI3Kα and PI3Kγ as part of a program aimed at developing new isoform-selective PI3K inhibitors. One of the analogues, compound 24, with IC₅₀ values of 66 nM against PI3Kα and 1840 nM against PI3Kγ, representing a 27-fold preference for PI3Kα, exhibited enhanced chemical stability and modestly enhanced potency and selectivity compared with the natural product liphagal.
