J Med Chem. 2016 Aug 11;59(15):7239-51. doi: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.6b00799. Epub 2016 Jul 27.

Abstract

A four-step process of high-quality modeling of existing data, deconstruction, identification of replacement cores, and an innovative synthetic regrowth strategy led to the rapid discovery of a novel oral series of PI3Kδ inhibitors with promising selectivity and excellent in vivo characteristics.
