Design and synthesis of a series of 4-morpholino-6-aryl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d] pyrimidines as potent and selective inhibitors of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) are described. Optimization of the 6-aryl substituent led to the discovery of inhibitors carrying 6-ureidophenyl groups, the first reported active site inhibitors of mTOR with subnanomolar inhibitory concentrations. The data presented in this paper show that 6-arylureidophenyl substituents led to potent mixed inhibitors of mTOR and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase α (PI3K-α), whereas 6-alkylureidophenyl appendages gave highly selective mTOR inhibitors. Combination of 6-alkylureidophenyl groups with 1-carbamoylpiperidine substitution resulted in compounds with subnanomolar IC50 against mTOR and greater than 1000-fold selectivity over PI3K-α. In addition, structure based drug design resulted in the preparation of several 6-arylureidophenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines, substituted in the 4-position of the arylureido moiety with water solubilizing groups. These compounds combined potent mTOR inhibition (IC50501 nM). 2009 American Chemical Society.

The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a central regulator of growth, survival, and metabolism, is a validated target for cancer therapy. Rapamycin and its analogues, allosteric inhibitors of mTOR, only partially inhibit one mTOR protein complex. ATP-competitive, global inhibitors of mTOR that have the potential for enhanced anticancer efficacy are described. Structural features leading to potency and selectivity were identified and refined leading to compounds with in vivo efficacy in tumor xenograft models.
