PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway has been validated as an effective targeting pathway for cancer therapy. However, no PI3K/mTOR dual inhibitor has been approved by the FDA yet. Therefore, it is still essential to discover a candidate with good efficacy and low toxicity. In our design, a series of imidazo[1,2-]pyridine derivatives had been synthesized and subjected to activity assessment and . was proved to be a potent PI3K/mTOR dual inhibitor with excellent kinase selectivity, modest plasma clearance, and acceptable oral bioavailability. Besides, displayed significant inhibition of tumor growth in HCT116 and HT-29 xenografts without obvious effect on body weight.
PI3K-Akt-mTOR 信号通路已被证实为癌症治疗的有效靶点。然而,目前还没有 FDA 批准的 PI3K/mTOR 双重抑制剂。因此,发现具有良好疗效和低毒性的候选药物仍然至关重要。在我们的设计中,已经合成了一系列咪唑并[1,2-a]吡啶衍生物,并对其进行了活性评估。结果表明,化合物 是一种有效的 PI3K/mTOR 双重抑制剂,具有优异的激酶选择性、适度的血浆清除率和可接受的口服生物利用度。此外,化合物 在 HCT116 和 HT-29 异种移植瘤模型中表现出显著的肿瘤生长抑制作用,且对体重无明显影响。
