Increased phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling is among the most common alterations in cancer, spurring intensive efforts to develop new cancer therapeutics that target this pathway. In this work, we discovered a series of novel 2-amino-4-methylquinazoline derivatives through a hybridization and subsequent scaffold hopping approach that were highly potent class I PI3K inhibitors. Lead optimization resulted in several promising compounds (e.g., 19, 20, 37, and 43) with nanomolar PI3K potencies, prominent antiproliferative activities, favorable PK profiles, and robust in vivo antitumor efficacies. More interestingly, compared with 19 and 20, 37 and 43 demonstrated improved brain penetration and in vivo efficacy in an orthotopic glioblastoma xenograft model. Furthermore, preliminary safety assessments including hERG channel inhibition, AMES, CYP450 inhibition, and single-dose toxicity were performed to characterize their toxicological properties.

D015195 Drug Design The molecular designing of drugs for specific purposes (such as DNA-binding, enzyme inhibition, anti-cancer efficacy, etc.) based on knowledge of molecular properties such as activity of functional groups, molecular geometry, and electronic structure, and also on information cataloged on analogous molecules. Drug design is generally computer-assisted molecular modeling and does not include PHARMACOKINETICS, dosage analysis, or drug administration analysis.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
