Targets

phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit delta
Comments:  The effects of constitutive PI3Kδ activation in this syndrome are the opposite (or inverse) of the effects mediated by pharmacological PI3Kδ inhibition.
Mutations:  phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit delta is associated with 2 mutation. Click here for details

nemiralisib
Immuno Disease Comments: Phase 2 clinical candidate for this condition (see NCT02593539). In the 2nd quarter of 2020, GSK made the decision to terminate the nemiralisib APDS programme, in a prioritisation review of their development pipeline.
Clinical Use: Nemiralisib (as GSK2269557) is in Phase 2 clinical development. Two separate studies are underway in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD; NCT02522299) or the rare genetic condition activated PI3K-delta syndrome (APDS/PASLI; NCT02593539). | View clinical data
Bioactivity Comments: Nemiralisib (GSK2269557) inhibits IFNγ production in vitro and protects against eosinophil recruitment in a relevant brown Norway rat acute OVA model of Th2 driven lung inflammation. The compund is reported to be >1000-fold selective for PI3Kδ over all of the kinases (>250) in the Millipore kinase panel and has low/acceptable hERG liability. | View biological activity
leniolisib 10
Immuno Disease Comments: Phase 1 clinical lead for APDS. Early clinical trial (NCT02435173) results are published. Lymphoproliferation and immune dysregulation are ameliorated in APDS patients following 12 weeks of leniolisib treatment.
Clinical Use: Leniolisib (CDZ173) was evaluated in clinical trial in patients with genetically activated PI3Kδ (i.e. patients with APDS/PASLI; see Phase 2/3 trial NCT02435173). Positive results from NCT02435173 are reported by Rao et al. (2017) [10], showing that leniolisib was well tolerated and improved laboratory and clinical parameters in APDS patients. The FDA approved leniolisib as a treatment for APDS in March 2023 [2]. | View clinical data
Bioactivity Comments: Data are presented for Example 67 in patent WO2012004299 [1]. | View biological activity
sirolimus
Immuno Disease Comments: Phase 1/2 clinical candidate for APDS (NCT03383380).
Clinical Use: Sirolimus is used for prophylaxis of renal transplant rejection [4,11], and may be used in combination with . In June 2015 the US FDA approved sirolimus for the treatment of lymphangioleiomyomatosis, a rare proliferative but benign lung disease [9].
Nab-sirolimus (ABI-009; Fyarro®) is an albumin-bound nanoparticle formulation of sirolimus that was developed by Aadi Bioscience as the first treatment for advanced malignant perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasms (PEComa; see NCT02494570) [6,12]. Fyarro® was approved by the FDA in November 2021.
In May 2023 the EMA expanded authorisation to include the treatrment of angiofibroma of tuberous sclerosis. | View clinical data
Bioactivity Comments: In vitro studies have been performed and these show that sirolimus inhibits MERS-CoV infection of Huh7 cells [3,5]. This mechanism could also be applied to SAR-CoV-2 infection. | View biological activity
