Drugs in Clinical Pipeline: GSK2636771 | PI3K Inhibitor | PI3Kbeta Inhibitor | Cancer Drug

GSK2636771 [2-methyl-1-(2-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)-6-morpholino-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-4-carboxylic acid] is a potent, orally bioavailable and selective nanomolar inhibitor of the beta isoform of the 110 kDa catalytic subunit of class IA phosphoinositide-3 kinases (PI3K). GSK2636771 was more selective for PI3Kβ relative to other PI3K class I enzymes (IC50: PI3Kβ = 0.89 nM) with greater than 900-fold selectivity over PI3Kα/PI3Kγ and more than 10-fold over PI3Kδ. It inhibits AKT phosphorylation and downstream signalling measured as decrease of PRAS40-, GSK3β-, and RPS6-phosphorylation in PTEN mutant cell lines [1].
