Identification and optimisation of novel and selective small molecular weight kinase inhibitors of mTOR

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Oct 15;19(20):5898-901. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2009.08.069. Epub 2009 Aug 21.

Abstract

A pharmacophore mapping approach, derived from previous experience of PIKK family enzymes, was used to identify a hit series of selective inhibitors of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). Subsequent refinement of the SAR around this hit series based on a tri-substituted triazine scaffold has led to the discovery of potent and selective inhibitors of mTOR.
