Abstract
Activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway is a key signaling event in cancer, inflammation, and other proliferative diseases. PI3K inhibitors are already approved for some specific clinical indications, but their systemic on-target toxicity limits their larger use. In particular, whereas toxicity is tolerable in acute treatment of life-threatening diseases, this is less acceptable in chronic conditions. In the past, the strategy to overcome this drawback was to block selected isoforms mainly expressed in leukocytes, but redundancy within the PI3K family members challenges the effectiveness of this approach. On the other hand, decreasing exposure to selected target cells represents a so-far unexplored alternative to circumvent systemic toxicity. In this manuscript, we describe the generation of a library of triazolylquinolones and the development of the first prodrug pan-PI3K inhibitor.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) regulate several cellular functions that are critical for cancer progression and development, including cell survival, proliferation and migration. Three classes of PI3Ks exist with the class I PI3K encompassing four isoforms of the catalytic subunit known as p110α, p110β, p110γ, and p110δ. Although for many years attention has been mainly focused on p110α recent evidence supports the conclusion that p110β, p110γ, and p110δ can also have a role in cancer. Amongst these, accumulating evidence now indicates that p110γ is involved in several cellular processes associated with cancer and indeed this specific isoform has emerged as a novel important player in cancer progression. Studies from our laboratory have identified a specific overexpression of p110γ in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues compared to their normal counterparts. Our data have further established that selective inhibition of p110γ is able to block PDAC and HCC cell proliferation, strongly suggesting that pharmacological inhibition of this enzyme can directly affect growth of these tumors. Furthermore, increasing evidence suggests that p110γ plays also a key role in the interactions between cancer cells and tumor microenvironment and in particular in tumor-associated immune response. It has also been reported that p110γ can regulate invasion of myeloid cells into tumors and tumor angiogenesis. Finally p110γ has also been directly involved in regulation of cancer cell migration. Taken together these data indicate that p110γ plays multiple roles in regulation of several processes that are critical for tumor progression and metastasis. This review will discuss the role of p110γ in gastrointestinal tumor development and progression and how targeting this enzyme might represent a way to target very aggressive tumors such as pancreatic and liver cancer on multiple fronts.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide 3-kinase gamma (PI3Kγ) is member of a family of enzymes involved in cancer pathogenesis. Accordingly, considerable efforts have been carried out to develop new PI3Kγ inhibitors. Towards this end we explored the pharmacophoric space of PI3Kγ using three diverse sets of inhibitors. Subsequently, we employed genetic algorithm-based QSAR analysis to select optimal combination of pharmacophoric models and physicochemical descriptors that can explain bioactivity variation within training inhibitors. Interestingly, two successful pharmacophores were selected within two statistically consistent QSAR models. The close similarity among the two binding models prompted us to merge them in a hybrid pharmacophore. The resulting model showed superior receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) and closely resembled binding interactions seen in crystallographic ligand-PI3Kγ complexes. The resulting model was employed to screen the national cancer institute (NCI) list of compounds to search for new PI3Kγ ligands. After testing captured hits in vitro, 19 compounds showed nanomolar IC50 values against PI3Kγ. The chemical structures and purities of most potent hits were validated using NMR and MS experiments.

Abstract
Inhibition of PI3Kδ is considered to be an attractive mechanism for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and leukocyte malignancies. Using a structure-based design approach, we have identified a series of potent and selective benzimidazole-based inhibitors of PI3Kδ. These inhibitors do not occupy the selectivity pocket between Trp760 and Met752 that is induced by other families of PI3Kδ inhibitors. Instead, the selectivity of the compounds for inhibition of PI3Kδ relative to other PI3K isoforms appears to be due primarily to the strong interactions these inhibitors are able to make with Trp760 in the PI3Kδ binding pocket. The pharmacokinetic properties and the ability of compound 5 to inhibit the function of B-cells in vivo are described.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase α (PI3Kα) is a promising target for anticancer drug discovery due to its overactivation in tumor cells. To systematically investigate the interactions between PI3Kα and PIK75 which is the most selective PI3Kα inhibitor reported to date, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation, and ensuing energetic analysis were utilized. The binding free energy between PI3Kα and PIK75 is -10.04 kcal•mol(-1) using MMPBSA method, while -13.88 kcal•mol(-1) using MMGBSA method, which is beneficial for the binding. The van der Waals/hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions play critical roles for the binding. The binding mode of PIK75 for PI3Kα is predicted. The conserved hydrophobic adenine region of PI3Kα made up of Ile800, Ile848, Val850, Val851, Met922, Phe930, and Ile932 accommodates the flat 6-bromine imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine ring of PIK75. The 2-methyl-5-nitrophenyl group of PIK75 extends to the P-loop region, and has four hydrogen-bond arms with the backbone and side chain of Ser773 and Ser774. And the distinct conformation of the P-loop induced by PIK75 is speculated to be responsible for the selectivity profile of PIK75. The predicted binding mode of PIK75 for PI3Kα presented in this study may help design high affinity and selective compounds to target PI3Kα.

Abstract
The phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway plays a critical role in the regulation of cellular growth, survival and proliferation. mTOR and PI3K have attracted particular attention as cancer targets. These kinases belong to the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase-related kinase (PIKK) family and therefore have considerable homology in their active sites. To accelerate the discovery of inhibitors with selective activity against mTOR and PI3K as cancer targets, in this work, a homology model of mTOR was developed to identify the structural divergence in the active sites between mTOR and PI3Kα. Furthermore, two highly predictive comparative molecular similarity index analyses (CoMSIA) models were built based on 304 selective inhibitors docked into mTOR and PI3Kα, respectively (mTOR: q(2) = 0.658, r(pre)(2) = 0.839; PI3Kα: q(2) = 0.540, r(pre)(2) = 0.719). The results showed that steric and electrostatic fields have an important influence on selectivity towards mTOR and PI3Kα-a finding consistent with the structural divergence between the active sites. The findings may be helpful in investigating selective mTOR/PI3Kα inhibitors.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase α (PI3Kα) is a promising target for anticancer drug design. Oncogenic mutation H1047R in the catalytic domain is observed in many tumors and may enhance PI3Kα kinase activity by affecting loop confirmations as well as membrane binding. We applied docking methods to 33 PI3K inhibitors against the wild type (wt) PI3Kα, the H1047R mutant of PI3Kα and the γ isoform of PI3K (PI3Kγ). We also investigated the effect of protein flexibility on ligand binding by docking the same set of ligands to conformations of the wt and mutant PI3Kα generated by molecular dynamics simulations. Our data suggests that conformational differences in Gln859, Ser854, Tyr836, and Ser774 between the PI3Kα wt and H1047R mutant may be used to design ligands that are active against both the wt and H1047R mutant isoforms. Gln859, Ser854 and Ser774 may play critical roles in ligand binding to the α isoform H1047R mutant while formation of H-bonds with Ser806 of PI3Kγ may enhance γ-isoform-specific inhibition. In addition to H-bond interactions, structural and size differences in the activation and hydrophobic domains of PI3Kα, PI3Kγ, and the PI3Kα H1047R mutant could be exploited to direct the design of isoform- and/or mutant-specific PI3K inhibitors. Our data provide a reasonable explanation for the activity and selectivity of small molecular PI3K inhibitors and are in good agreement with available experimental and computational data.

Abstract
A series of synthesized and commercially available compounds were assessed against PI3Kα for in vitro inhibitory activity and the results compared to binding calculated in silico. Using published crystal structures of PI3Kγ and PI3Kδ co-crystallized with inhibitors as a template, docking was able to identify the majority of potent inhibitors from a decoy set of 1000 compounds. On the other hand, PI3Kα in the apo-form, modeled by induced fit docking, or built as a homology model gave only poor results. A PI3Kα homology model derived from a ligand-bound PI3Kδ crystal structure was developed that has a good ability to identify active compounds. The docking results identified binding poses for active compounds that differ from those identified to date and can contribute to our understanding of structure-activity relationships for PI3K inhibitors.

Abstract
Background Most prostate cancer (PCa)-related deaths are due to metastasis, which is mediated in part by chemokine receptor and corresponding ligand interaction. We have previously shown that PCa tissue and cell lines express high levels of the chemokine receptor CXCR5, than compared to their normal counterparts, and interaction of CXCR5 with its specific ligand (CXCL13) promoted PCa cell invasion, migration, and differential matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression. This study dissects some of the molecular mechanisms following CXCL13-CXCR5 interaction that mediate PCa cell migration and invasion. Results Using Western blot analysis, kinase-specific cell-based ELISAs, and migration and invasion assays, we show that PCa cell lines differentially express phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K) catalytic subunit isoforms and dedicator of cytokinesis 2 (DOCK2). Specifically, we show that PC3 and normal prostatic epithelial (RWPE-1), but not LNCaP cell lines expressed DOCK2, while RWPE, PC3, and LNCaP cell lines expressed PI3K-p110α and -p110β. Moreover, PC3 selectively expressed PI3K-p110γ, but LNCaP and RWPE cell lines expressed PI3Kp110δ. CXCL13 caused CXCR5-dependent activation of the PI3Kp85α in LNCaP cells, and p85α as well as -p101 in PC3 cells. CXCL13-CXCR5 interaction regulated LNCaP and PC3 cell migration and invasion through extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) activation that was primarily dependent on the PI3Kp110 isoform(s), Src, and focal adhesion kinase (FAK), but not DOCK2. Conclusions While additional studies will be needed to determine the PI3K-independent (i.e., DOCK2-mediated) and -dependent events that dictate PCa cell responsiveness to CXCL13, these data provide evidence of the existence of cell type- and stimulus-specific signaling events that support migration and invasion of PCa cells.

Abstract
PI3Ks (phosphoinositide 3-kinases) have important roles in a variety of cellular activities, including survival, proliferation, growth, shape, migration and intracellular sorting. Consistent with their function in cell survival and growth, the gene for the class Iα PI3K catalytic subunit is a common site of gain-of-function mutations in cancers. Ongoing structural studies of these enzymes and the complexes they make with their regulatory subunits have helped to clarify the mechanistic basis of this role in tumour development. The broad spectrum of biological activities associated with various isotypes of class I PI3Ks has led to an intense search for isotype-specific inhibitors as tools in mammalian cell biology and for therapeutic application. Structural studies of the class I PI3Ks suggest that flexibility may be a component of the catalytic cycle of the enzymes.

Abstract
The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway is currently one of the most exciting drug targets in oncology. However, only a short time ago, the paradigm existed that drugs targeted to the four PI3K class I isoforms would be too toxic for use in cancer therapy due to effects on physiologic signaling. Since that time, studies have delineated the roles of these four isoforms in nonpathologic signaling as well as their roles in cancer. An extensive effort has gone into developing agents that inhibit one or more PI3K isoforms, as well as closely related proteins implicated in cancer. These agents have proved to be tolerable and therapeutically beneficial in animal studies, and a number are in clinical testing. The agents, their properties, and their molecular targets are discussed in this review.
