The phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt (PI3K/Akt) pathway is constitutively activated in a substantial proportion of prostate tumors and is considered a key mechanism supporting progression toward an androgen-independent status, for which no effective therapy is available. Therefore, PI3K inhibitors, alone or in combination with other cytotoxic drugs, could potentially be used to treat cancer with a constitutive activated PI3K/Akt pathway. To selectively target advanced prostate tumors with a constitutive activated PI3K/Akt pathway, a prostate cancer-specific PI3K inhibitor was generated by coupling the chemically modified form of the quercetin analogue LY294002 (HO-CH2-LY294002, compound 8) with the peptide Mu-LEHSSKLQL, in which the internal sequence HSSKLQ is a substrate for the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) protease. The result is a water-soluble and latent PI3K inhibitor prodrug (compound 11), its activation being dependent on PSA cleavage. Once activated, the L-O-CH2-LY294002 (compound 10) can specifically inhibit PI3K in PSA-secreting prostate cancer cells and induce apoptosis with a potency comparable to that of the original LY294002 compound.

Structure-activity relationships for inhibition of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) have been defined for substituted chromen-4-ones. For the 2-amino-substituted benzo[h]-chromen-4-ones, a morpholine substituent at this position was essential for activity. Small libraries of 6- and 7-alkoxy-substituted chromen-4-ones showed that a number of 7-alkoxy-substituted chromenones displayed improved activity. Focused libraries incorporating 6-, 7-, and 8-aryl and heteroaryl substituents were prepared. In these cases, 6- and 7-substitution was disfavored, whereas 8-substitution was largely tolerated. Surprisingly, two compounds, 2-N-morpholino-8-dibenzofuranyl-chromen-4-one (NU7427, 32{38}) and the 2-N-morpholino-8-dibenzothiophenyl-chromen-4-one (NU7441, 32{26}) were excellent inhibitors (IC50 vs DNA-PK = 40 and 13 nM, respectively). The ring-saturated analogue 2-N-morpholino-8-(6′, 7′,8′,9′-tetrahydrodibenzothiophene)chromen-4-one, 36, retained potent activity (IC50 vs DNA-PK = 23 nM). The dibenzothiophene 32{38} sensitized HeLa cells to ionizing radiation in vitro, with dose modification factors of 2.5 at 10% survival being observed at 0.5 μM. The cytotoxicity of the topoisomerase II inhibitor etoposide was also potentiated.

A solution-phase multiple-parallel synthesis approach was employed for the preparation of 6-, 7- and 8-aryl-substituted chromenone libraries, which were screened as inhibitors of the DNA repair enzyme DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK). These studies r
Synthetic studies of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor LY294002 and related analogues

Synthetic methodologies have been developed for the direct and high-yielding preparation of the phosphatidyl-inositol 3-kinase inhibitor LY294002. These methods are readily amenable to the efficient generation of analogues, which will facilitate a detailed investigation of this important family of enzymes.
Therapeutic morpholino-substituted compounds

Morpholino-substituted pyridopyrimidine, quinolone, and benzopyranone derivatives inhibit phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase, an enzyme that regulates platelet-adhesion processes. As a consequence, the compounds in question have anti-thrombotic activity, as well as other pharmaceutical properties. The compounds claimed are represented by formula (I), (II) and (III). PI 3-kinase generates 3-phosphorylated PI second messengers which stimulate platelet adhesion under blood-flow conditions. Because platelet adhesion is a necessary step in the formation of a thrombus, inhibition by these compounds of PI 3-kinase under such conditions inhibits or prevents thrombus formation. The compounds are useful in treating PI 3-kinase-dependent conditions including cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery occlusion, stroke, acute coronary syndrome, acute myocardial infarction, vascular restenosis, atherosclerosis, and unstable angina; respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), and bronchitis; inflammatory disorders; neoplasms including cancers such as glioma, prostate cancer, small cell lung cancer, and breast cancer, and diseases linked to disordered white blood cell function, such as autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
