Acalisib [(S)-2-(1-((7H-purin-6-yl)amino)ethyl)-6-fluoro-3-phenylquinazolin-4(3H)-one]
is a potent, selective nanomolar inhibitor of the delta isoform of the 110 kDa
catalytic subunit of class IA phosphoinositide-3 kinases (PI3K).
Acalisib was
more selective for PI3Kδ relative to other PI3K class I enzymes (IC50:
PI3Kδ = 12.7 nM; PI3Kα = 5441 nM; PI3Kβ = 3377 nM and PI3Kγ = 1389 nM). Acalisib
was also 1000-fold more selective against PI3Kδ than against related kinases, such
as CIIβ, hVPS34, DNAPK, and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) [1].
Acalisib was also assayed for its potential binding interaction with kinases by screening a comprehensive panel of 393 kinases, including mutants, in the Ambit KINOMEscan. No binding outside of PI3K was observed at 10 µM Acalisib, further demonstrating a high degree of selectivity. Acalisib was considered active if less than 35% of binding to immobilized probes remained compared to DMSO control. Various PI3K isoforms have %control binding values in the 0.25-14 range. The next kinase target was PIP5K2B with a value of 49% [1].
Acalisib is under investigation for the treatment of lymphoid malignancies including non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) [2].
