Abstract

In vitro metabolic identification studies with a PI3K-α inhbitor lead molecule 1 identified a single predominant site of oxidative metabolism to be occuring within a tert.butyl moiety. Modification of the tert.butyl group within the lead molecule 1, to the corresponing d9-tert.butyl analogue 2, led to an increase in both the in vitro and in vivo metabolic stability. This increase in metabolic stability resulted in a 2-fold increase in the oral bioavailability measured in the rat, and a 3-fold increase in potency in a chronic in vivo study in the mouse, for 2 when compared to 1.
