Discovery of a Series of 5,11-Dihydro-6H-benzo[e]pyrimido[5,4-b][1,4]diazepin-6-ones as Selective PI3K-δ/γ Inhibitors.

Dual inhibition of PI3K-δ and PI3K-γ is an established therapeutic strategy for treatment of hematological malignancies. Reported molecules targeting PI3K-δ/γ selectively are chemically similar and based upon isoquinolin-1(2H)-one or quinazolin-4(3H)-one scaffolds. Here we report a chemically distinct series of potent, selective PI3K-δ/γ inhibitors based on a 5,11-dihydro-6H-benzo[e]pyrimido[5,4-b][1,4]diazepin-6-one scaffold with comparable biochemical potency and cellular effects on PI3K signaling. We envisage these molecules will provide useful leads for development of next-generation PI3K-δ/γ targeting therapeutics.
