Potent, selective small molecule inhibitors of type III phosphatidylinositol-4-kinase α- but not β-inhibit the phosphatidylinositol signaling cascade and cancer cell proliferation

Abstract

Two series of inhibitors of type III phosphatidylinositol-4-kinase were identified by high throughput screening and optimised to derive probe compounds that independently and selectively inhibit the α- and the β-isoforms with no significant activity towards related kinases in the pathway. In a cellular environment, inhibition of the α- but not the β-subtype led to a reduction in phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate concentration, causing inhibition of inositol-1-phosphate formation and inhibition of proliferation in a panel of cancer cell lines.
