Functional characterization of an isoform-selective inhibitor of PI3K-p110β as a potential anticancer agent

We report the first functional characterization of a p110β-selective inhibitor, KIN-193, that is efficacious as an antitumor agent in mice. We show that this class of inhibitor holds great promise as a pharmacologic agent that could be used to address the potential therapeutic benefit of treating p110β-dependent PTEN-deficient human tumors.
