Abstract
A virtual screen of our in-house database using various fingerprint techniques returned several triazine hits which were found to be mTOR inhibitors with a slight selectivity over PI3Kα. Using structure-guided lead optimization the inhibitory activity towards mTOR and PI3Kα was increased to the low nanomolar range. Exploiting shape differences in the binding-site allowed for the design of mTOR selective inhibitors. Focus on ligand efficiency ensured the inhibitors retained a low molecular weight and desirable drug-like properties.
