Discovery of 4-morpholino-pyrimidin-6-one and 4-morpholino-pyrimidin-2-one-containing Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) p110β isoform inhibitors through structure-based fragment optimisation.

The discovery of 4-morpholino-pyrimidin-6-one and 4-morpholino-pyrimidin-2-one-containing inhibitors of Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K) p110β isoform is reported. Structure-based optimisation of the original fragment hit resulted in lead compounds with improvements in ligand efficiency, lipophilicity efficiency, p110β potency and selectivity over p110α.
