Résumé
High-throughput screening (HTS) hit 1 was previously identified as an inhibitor of the Akt/mTOR (Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin) signaling, which is a major target in oncology. The cytotoxicity of 1 was determined on a panel of human cancer cells lines with an IC(5)(0) comprised between 30 and 140 muM. Subsequent structure--activity relationship (SAR) studies led us to the identification of compounds that displayed an enhanced cytotoxicity. We demonstrated also that these molecules directly bind to mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and inhibit its kinase activity.
