• Novel small molecule inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3)

  Why is the target important?The PI3 lipid kinase (PI3K) pathway is an important target for anti-cancer drug development because:It’s activated by growth factors, oncogenes (RAS), GPCRs, etc. It regulates an array of critical cellular functions, including survival, proliferation, metabolism and cell motility. PI3K and its downstream effectors are...
