Aberrant activation of the PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway has been observed in human tumors and tumor cell lines, indicating that these protein kinases may be attractive therapeutic targets for treating cancer. Optimization of advanced lead 1 culminated in the discovery of clinical development candidate 8h, GDC-0349, a potent and selective ATP-competitive inhibitor of mTOR. GDC-0349 demonstrates pathway modulation and dose-dependent efficacy in mouse xenograft cancer models. ...[more]
