Morpholine Derivatives Greatly Enhance the Selectivity of Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) Inhibitors
摘要:
Dramatic improvements in mTOR-targeting selectivity were achieved by replacing morpholine in pyrazolopyrimidine inhibitors with bridged morpholines. Analogues with subnanomolar mTOR IC(50) values and up to 26000-fold selectivity versus PI3K alpha were prepared. Chiral morpholines gave inhibitors whose enantiomers had different selectivity and potency profiles. Molecular modeling suggests that a single amino acid difference between PI3K and mTOR (Phe961 Leu) accounts for the profound selectivity seen by creating a deeper pocket in mTOR that can accommodate bridged morpholines.

The present invention relates to Pyrazolopyrimidine Analogs, methods of making Pyrazolopyrimidine Analogs, compositions comprising a Pyrazolopyrimidine Analog, and methods for treating mTOR-related disorders comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a Pyrazolopyrimidine Analog. The invention also relates to treating PI3K-related disorders comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a Pyrazolopyrimidine Analog.
