Abstract
The rise in antimicrobial resistance and the decline in new antibiotics has created a great need for novel approaches to treat drug resistant bacterial infections. Increasing the burden of antimicrobial resistance, bacterial virulence factors allow for survival within the host, where they can evade host killing and antimicrobial therapy within their intracellular niches. Repurposing host directed therapeutics has great potential for adjuvants to allow for more effective bacterial killing by the host and antimicrobials. To this end, phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitors are FDA approved for cancer therapy, but also have potential to eliminate intracellular survival of pathogens. This review describes the PI3K pathway and its potential as an adjuvant target to treat bacterial infections more effectively.

Discovery of novel selective PI3Kγ inhibitors through combining machine learning-based virtual screening with multiple protein structures and bio-evaluation. J Adv Res 2022; 36:1-13. [PMID: 35127160 PMCID: PMC8800018 DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2021.04.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2020] [Revised: 04/09/2021] [Accepted: 04/16/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Phosphoinositide 3-kinase gamma (PI3Kγ) has been regarded as a promising drug target for the treatment of various diseases, and the diverse physiological roles of class I PI3K isoforms (α, β, δ, and γ) highlight the importance of isoform selectivity in the development of PI3Kγ inhibitors. However, the high structural conservation among the PI3K family makes it a big challenge to develop selective PI3Kγ inhibitors. Objectives A novel machine learning-based virtual screening with multiple PI3Kγ protein structures was developed to discover novel PI3Kγ inhibitors. Methods A large chemical database was screened using the virtual screening model, the top-ranked compounds were then subjected to a series of bio-evaluations, which led to the discovery of JN-KI3. The selective inhibition mechanism of JN-KI3 against PI3Kγ was uncovered by a theoretical study. Results 49 hits were identified through virtual screening, and the cell-free enzymatic studies found that JN-KI3 selectively inhibited PI3Kγ at a concentration as low as 3,873 nM but had no inhibitory effect on Class IA PI3Ks, leading to the selective cytotoxicity on hematologic cancer cells. Meanwhile, JN-KI3 potently blocked the PI3K signaling, finally led to distinct apoptosis of hematologic cell lines at a low concentration. Lastly, the key residues of PI3Kγ and the structural characteristics of JN-KI3, which both would influence γ isoform-selective inhibition, were highlighted by systematic theoretical studies. Conclusion The developed virtual screening model strongly manifests the robustness to find novel PI3Kγ inhibitors. JN-KI3 displays a specific cytotoxicity on hematologic tumor cells, and significantly promotes apoptosis associated with the inhibition of the PI3K signaling, which depicts PI3Kγ as a potential target for the hematologic tumor therapy. The theoretical results reveal that those key residues interacting with JN-KI3 are less common compared to most of the reported PI3Kγ inhibitors, indicating that JN-KI3 has novel structural characteristics as a selective PIK3γ inhibitor.

Abstract
Using a novel physiologically relevant in vitro human whole blood neutrophil shape change assay, an aminopyrazine series of selective PI3Kγ inhibitors was identified and prioritized for further optimization. Severe solubility limitations associated with the series leading to low oral bioavailability and poor exposures, especially at higher doses, were overcome by moving to an aminopyridine core. Compound 33, with the optimal balance of on-target activity, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic parameters, progressed into in vivo studies and demonstrated good efficacy (10 mg/kg) in a rat model of airway inflammation. Sufficient exposures were achieved at high doses to support toxicological studies, where unexpected inflammatory cell infiltrates in cardiovascular tissue prevented further compound development.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase gamma (PI3Kγ) has been regarded as a promising drug target for the treatment of advanced solid tumors, leukemia, lymphoma, and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. However, the high level of structural conservation among the members of the PI3K family and the diverse physiological roles of Class I PI3K isoforms (α, β, δ, and γ) highlight the importance of isoform selectivity in the development of PI3Kγ inhibitors. In this review, we provide an overview of the structural features of PI3Kγ that influence γ-isoform selectivity and discuss the structure-selectivity-activity relationship of existing clinical PI3Kγ inhibitors. Additionally, we summarize the experimental and computational techniques utilized to identify PI3Kγ inhibitors. The insights gained so far could be used to overcome the main challenges in development and accelerate the discovery of PI3Kγ-selective inhibitors.

Abstract
The successful application of immunotherapy in the treatment of cancer relies on effective engagement of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment. Phosphoinositide 3-kinase γ (PI3Kγ) is highly expressed in tumor-associated macrophages, and its expression levels are associated with tumor immunosuppression and growth. Selective inhibition of PI3Kγ offers a promising strategy in immuno-oncology, which has led to the development of numerous potent PI3Kγ inhibitors with variable selectivity profiles. To facilitate further investigation of the therapeutic potential of PI3Kγ inhibition, we required a potent and PI3Kγ-selective tool compound with sufficient metabolic stability for use in future in vivo studies. Herein, we describe some of our efforts to realize this goal through the systematic study of SARs within a series of 7-azaindole-based PI3Kγ inhibitors. The large volume of data generated from this study helped guide our subsequent lead optimization efforts and will inform further development of PI3Kγ-selective inhibitors for use in immunomodulation.

Abstract
Owing to the lengthy residual problems associated with chlorsulfuron, metsulfuron-methyl, and ethametsulfuron, which prevents them from being used in the "annual multi-crop planting system", the application of these sulfonylurea herbicides (SU) has regrettably been terminated in China since 2014. In this field, we were the first to discover that the 5th position of the benzene ring in chlorsulfuron is a key point for influencing its degradation rate and the amino moiety at this position showed faster degradation rates and maintained their original potent bioactivity. In this study, we further elaborated on N-methylamido and dialkylamino substituents at the same position in chlorsulfuron to obtain 18 novel structures as M and N series. Their half-life degradation (DT50) values were faster, to varying degrees, than chlorsulfuron in acidic soil. It was found that most of the titled structures also retained their potent herbicidal activity and the crop safety of the M series towards corn greatly increased. Based on these data, a comprehensive graph describing the structure/degradation relationship was established first. Relating to the new molecules, their herbicidal activity (A), degradation rates (D), and crop safety (S) relationship were correlated and we used this approach to predict and explore the most preferable molecule, which coincided to the corresponding experimental data. The new concept of controllable degradation will provide us with more insight when searching for new ecological bioactive molecules in the future.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide 3-kinase gamma (PI3Kγ) draws an increasing attention due to its link with deadly cancer, chronic inflammation and allergy. But the development of PI3Kγ selective inhibitors is still a challenging endeavor because of the high sequence homology with the other PI3K isoforms. In order to acquire valuable information about the interaction mechanism between potent inhibitors and PI3Kγ, a series of PI3Kγ isoform-selective inhibitors were analyzed by a systematic computational method, combining 3D-QSAR, molecular docking, molecular dynamic (MD) simulations, free energy calculations and decomposition. The general structure-activity relationships were revealed and some key residues relating to selectivity and high activity were highlighted. It provides precious guidance for rational virtual screening, modification and design of selective PI3Kγ inhibitors. Finally, ten novel inhibitors were optimized and P10 showed satisfactory predicted bioactivity, demonstrating the feasibility to develop potent PI3Kγ inhibitors through this computational modeling and optimization.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3Kγ) is a drug target that has been implicated in the treatment of a range of diseases. We have developed a synthesis of a novel PI3Kγ inhibitor containing a 1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridin-3-one scaffold. The key step in the synthesis involved a ruthenium-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cyclotrimerization reaction between a diyne and an alkoxycarbonyl isocyanate, a previously unreported coupling partner in such a reaction.

Abstract
In this paper, we describe the discovery and optimization of a new chemotype of isoform selective PI3Kγ inhibitors. Starting from an HTS hit, potency and physicochemical properties could be improved to give compounds such as 15, which is a potent and remarkably selective PI3Kγ inhibitor with ADME properties suitable for oral administration. Compound 15 was advanced into in vivo studies showing dose-dependent inhibition of LPS-induced airway neutrophilia in rats when administered orally.

Abstract
The lipid kinase phosphoinositide 3-kinase γ (PI3Kγ) has attracted attention as a potential target to treat a variety of autoimmune disorders, including multiple sclerosis, due to its role in immune modulation and microglial activation. By minimizing the number of hydrogen bond donors while targeting a previously uncovered selectivity pocket adjacent to the ATP binding site of PI3Kγ, we discovered a series of azaisoindolinones as selective, brain penetrant inhibitors of PI3Kγ. This ultimately led to the discovery of 16, an orally bioavailable compound that showed efficacy in murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a preclinical model of multiple sclerosis.

Abstract
Inhibitors of the class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) isoform PI3Kα have received substantial attention for their potential use in cancer therapy. Despite the particular attraction of targeting PI3Kα, achieving selectivity for the inhibition of this isoform has proved challenging. Herein we report the discovery of inhibitors of PI3Kα that have selectivity over the other class I isoforms and all other kinases tested. In GDC-0032 (3, taselisib), we previously minimized inhibition of PI3Kβ relative to the other class I insoforms. Subsequently, we extended our efforts to identify PI3Kα-specific inhibitors using PI3Kα crystal structures to inform the design of benzoxazepin inhibitors with selectivity for PI3Kα through interactions with a nonconserved residue. Several molecules selective for PI3Kα relative to the other class I isoforms, as well as other kinases, were identified. Optimization of properties related to drug metabolism then culminated in the identification of the clinical candidate GDC-0326 (4).

Abstract
The optimized molecular structure, vibrational frequencies, corresponding vibrational assignments of 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4,5-dimethyl-1H-imidazole 3-oxide have been investigated experimentally and theoretically. Gauge-including atomic orbital (1)H NMR chemical shifts calculations were carried out and compared with experimental data. The HOMO and LUMO analysis is used to determine the charge transfer within the molecule. The stability of the molecule arising from hyper-conjugative interaction and charge delocalization has been analyzed using NBO analysis. The calculated geometrical parameters are in agreement with that of similar derivatives. Molecular electrostatic potential was performed by the DFT method. Mulliken's net charges have been calculated and compared with the atomic natural charges. First and second hyperpolarizability are calculated in order to find its role in non-linear optics. Molecular docking is also reported.

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
This review focuses on the syntheses of PI3K/Akt/mTOR inhibitors that have been reported outside of the patent literature in the last 5years but is largely centered on synthetic work reported in 2011 and 2012. While focused on syntheses of inhibitors, some information on in vitro and in vivo testing of compounds is also included. Many of these reported compounds are reversible, competitive adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding inhibitors, so given the structural similarities of many of these compounds to the adenine core, this review presents recent work on inhibitors based on where the synthetic chemistry was started, that is, inhibitor syntheses which started with purines/pyrimidines are followed by inhibitor syntheses which began with pyridines, pyrazines, azoles, and triazines then moves to inhibitors which bear no structural resemblance to adenine: liphagal, wortmannin and quercetin analogs. The review then finishes with a short section on recent syntheses of phosphotidyl inositol (PI) analogs since competitive PI binding inhibitors represent an alternative to the competitive ATP binding inhibitors which have received the most attention.

Abstract
A series of novel, highly potent, selective, and ATP-competitive mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors based on a benzoxazepine scaffold have been identified. Lead optimization resulted in the discovery of inhibitors with low nanomolar activity and greater than 1000-fold selectivity over the closely related PI3K kinases. Compound 28 (XL388) inhibited cellular phosphorylation of mTOR complex 1 (p-p70S6K, pS6, and p-4E-BP1) and mTOR complex 2 (pAKT (S473)) substrates. Furthermore, this compound displayed good pharmacokinetics and oral exposure in multiple species with moderate bioavailability. Oral administration of compound 28 to athymic nude mice implanted with human tumor xenografts afforded significant and dose-dependent antitumor activity.
