CH5132799

CH5132799 is an inhibitor of class I phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) with IC50 value of 14nM against PI3Kα [1].

CH5132799 shows inhibitory effect on class I PI3K with IC50 values of 0.014μM, 0.12μM, 0.5μM and 0.036μM against PI3Kα, PI3Kβ, PI3Kδ and PI3Kγ, respectively. PI3Kα is especially sensitive to CH5132799. CH5132799 is a selective inhibitor. It shows less effect on class II PI3Ks, class III PI3K and mTOR. For other 26 protein kinases, CH5132799 nearly has no inhibition with IC50 value of > 10μM. CH5132799 is found to have potent antitumor activity. It exerts IC50 values of 0.2μM, 0.032μM, 0.056μM and 0.12μM in HCT116, KPL-4, T-47D and SK-OV-3 cell lines, respectively. Moreover, CH5132799 is oral available in animal models. Treatment of CH5132799 shows strong tumor regression at dose of 12.5 mg/kg in mice bearing human breast cancer xenografts [1].

First-in-human study of CH5132799, an oral class I PI3K inhibitor, studying toxicity, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics, in patients with metastatic cancer.[Pubmed:25231405]

PURPOSE: This phase I dose-escalation study investigated the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicities (DLT), safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary clinical activity of CH5132799. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Patients with metastatic solid tumors were eligible for the study. CH5132799 was administered orally once daily or twice daily in 28-day cycles. RESULTS: Thirty-eight patients with solid tumors received CH5132799 at 2 to 96 mg once daily or 48 to 72 mg twice daily. The MTD was 48 mg on the twice-daily schedule but was not reached on the once daily schedule. DLTs were grade 3 elevated liver function tests (LFT), grade 3 fatigue, grade 3 encephalopathy, grade 3 diarrhea, and grade 3 diarrhea with grade 3 stomatitis; all DLTs were reversible. Most drug-related adverse events were grade 1/2. Diarrhea (34%) and nausea (32%) were the most common events. Mean Cmax and AUC0-24 in steady state at MTD were 175 ng/mL and 1,550 ng.h/mL, respectively, consistent with efficacious exposure based on preclinical modeling. Reduction in SUVmax with [(18)F] fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) was observed in 5 of 7 patients at MTD. A patient with PIK3CA-mutated clear cell carcinoma of the ovary achieved a partial response by GCIG CA125 criteria and further, a heavily pretreated patient with triple-negative breast cancer had marked improvement in her cutaneous skin lesions lasting six cycles. CONCLUSION: CH5132799 is well tolerated at the MTD dose of 48 mg twice daily. At this dose, the drug had a favorable PK and PD profile and preliminary evidence of clinical activity.

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) is a lipid kinase and a promising therapeutic target for cancer. Using structure-based drug design (SBDD), we have identified novel PI3K inhibitors with a dihydropyrrolopyrimidine skeleton. Metabolic stability of the first lead series was drastically improved by replacing phenol with aminopyrimidine moiety. CH5132799, a novel class I PI3K inhibitor, exhibited a strong inhibitory activity especially against PI3Kalpha (IC(50)=0.014 muM). In human tumor cell lines with PI3K pathway activation, CH5132799 showed potent antiproliferative activity. CH5132799 is orally available and showed significant antitumor activity in PI3K pathway-activated human cancer xenograft models in mice.

The selective class I PI3K inhibitor CH5132799 targets human cancers harboring oncogenic PIK3CA mutations.[Pubmed:21558396]

PURPOSE: The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway plays a central role in cell proliferation and survival in human cancer. PIK3CA mutations, which are found in many cancer patients, activate the PI3K pathway, resulting in cancer development and progression. We previously identified CH5132799 as a novel PI3K inhibitor. Thus, this study aimed to clarify the biochemical and antitumor activity of CH5132799 and elucidate the correlation between CH5132799 response and genetic alterations in the PI3K pathway. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Kinase inhibitory activity was profiled in cell-free assays. A large panel of human breast, ovarian, prostate, and endometrial cancer cell lines, as well as xenograft models, were used to evaluate the antitumor activity of CH5132799, followed by analysis for genetic alterations. Effects on Akt phosphorylation induced by mTORC1 inhibition were tested with CH5132799 and compared with mTORC1 and PI3K/mTOR inhibitors. RESULTS: CH5132799 selectively inhibited class I PI3Ks and PI3Kalpha mutants in in vitro kinase assays. Tumors harboring PIK3CA mutations were significantly sensitive to CH5132799 in vitro and were remarkably regressed by CH5132799 in in vivo mouse xenograft models. In combination with trastuzumab, tumors disappeared in the trastuzumab-insensitive breast cancer model with the PIK3CA mutation. Moreover, CH5132799 did not reverse a negative feedback loop of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling and induced regression against tumors regrown after long-term mTORC1 inhibitor treatment. CONCLUSIONS: CH5132799 is a selective class I PI3K inhibitor with potent antitumor activity against tumors harboring the PIK3CA mutations. Prediction of CH5132799 response on the basis of PIK3CA mutations could enable patient stratification in clinical settings.
