We have discovered a series of potent and highly selective PI3K delta inhibitors that potently inhibit signaling in immune cells and have demonstrated compelling efficacy in rodent models of immune disease. One such molecule, PWT143, inhibits AKT phosphorylation with sub-nanomolar potency in cellular assays reflecting PI3K delta function. This activity translates to robust phenotypic activity in multiple cell types, including inhibition of cytokine release from B and T cells. Importantly, PWT143 inhibits basophil activation (as measured by surface CD63 expression in a whole blood assay) with sub- nanomolar potency in response to anti-IgE stimulation but not in response to fMLP stimulation, suggesting a differential effect on autoimmune compared to bacterial antigen- mediated immune cell activation. In vivo, the cellular activities of PWT143 are reflected by dose-dependent pharmacodynamic activity in a mouse passive cutaneous anaphylaxis model. Furthermore, PWT143 completely prevents disease onset and regresses established disease in a mouse collagen-induced arthritis model, suggesting that inhibition of PI3K delta (without inhibition of PI3K gamma) is sufficient for efficacy in this model. Together, these data support the broad utility of PWT143 and related PI3K delta inhibitors for the treatment of autoimmune disease and other pathologies involving dysregulation of the immune response.
