Structure-based design of thienobenzoxepin inhibitors of PI3-kinase

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2011 Jul 1;21(13):4054-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2011.04.124. Epub 2011 May 13.

Abstract

Starting from thienobenzopyran HTS hit 1, co-crystallization, molecular modeling and metabolic analysis were used to design potent and metabolically stable inhibitors of PI3-kinase. Compound 15 demonstrated PI3K pathway suppression in a mouse MCF7 xenograft model.
