Publication Abstract from PubMed

Optimization of a previously reported lead series of PI3Kdelta inhibitors with a novel binding mode led to the identification of a clinical candidate compound 31 (GSK251). Removal of an embedded Ames-positive heteroaromatic amine by reversing a sulfonamide followed by locating an interaction with Trp760 led to a highly selective compound 9. Further optimization to avoid glutathione trapping, to enhance potency and selectivity, and to optimize an oral pharmacokinetic profile led to the discovery of compound 31 (GSK215) that had a low predicted daily dose (45 mg, b.i.d) and a rat toxicity profile suitable for further development.
