Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of PI3K/mTOR dual inhibitors from a series of 2-amino-4-methylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives.

Inhibition of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway by PI3K/mTOR dual inhibitors provides a promising new approach to the treatment of cancers. In this Letter, we identified structurally novel and potent PI3K/mTOR dual inhibitors from a series of 2-amino-4-methylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives. Their synthesis and structure-activity relationships are reported.
