ABT-510 is an anti-angiogenesis compound that was under development by Abbott for the treatment of solid tumours, lymphoma and melanoma. It is a synthetic peptide that mimics the anti-angiogenic activity of the endogenous protein thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1). ABT-510 inhibits the actions of several pro-angiogenic growth factors important to tumor neovascularization; these pro-angiogenic growth factors include vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and interleukin 8 (IL-8).

GS-9820 (formerly CAL-120) is an oral, small molecule delta selective Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3 kinase) inhibitor, a first in class compound, with greater than 200-fold selectivity in cell-based assays for the delta isoform as compared to other class isoforms. GS-9820 is designed to induce cancer cell death and inhibit signaling pathways associated with cancer cell dependence on the tumor microenvironment. GS-9820 is on the phase I of clinical trial, where has to be determined the appropriate dosing regimen of drug in subjects with lymphoid malignancies.

Omipalisib, also known as GSK2126458, is a small-molecule pyridylsulfonamide inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) with potential antineoplastic activity. Omipalisib (GSK2126458, GSK458) is a highly selective and potent inhibitor of p110α/β/δ/γ, mTORC1/2 with Ki of 0.019 nM/0.13 nM/0.024 nM/0.06 nM and 0.18 nM/0.3 nM in cell-free assays, respectively. It is also a low picomolar inhibitor of the common activating mutants of p110a (E542K, E545K, and H1047R) found in human cancer. Omipalisib (GSK2126458) binds to and inhibits PI3K in the PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway, which may trigger the translocation of cytosolic Bax to the mitochondrial outer membrane, increasing mitochondrial membrane permeability and inducing apoptotic cell death. Bax is a member of the proapoptotic Bcl2 family of proteins. PI3K, often overexpressed in cancer cells, plays a crucial role in tumor cell regulation and survival. GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) is developing omipalisib, a phosphoinositide 3-kinase/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/mTOR) inhibitor as well as mTOR complex 1 and 2 inhibitor, for the potential oral treatment of cancer and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

PQR-309 is an orally bioavailable pan inhibitor of phosphoinositide-3-kinases (PI3K) and inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), with potential antineoplastic activity. PI3K/mTOR kinase inhibitor PQR-309 inhibits the PI3K kinase isoforms alpha, beta, gamma and delta and, to a lesser extent, mTOR kinase, which may result in tumor cell apoptosis and growth inhibition in cells overexpressing PI3K/mTOR. By inhibiting mTOR to a lesser extent than PI3K, PQR-309 does not interfere with the mTOR-mediated negative feedback loop on PI3K signaling. Blocking the negative feedback loop would potentially increase PI3K signaling and decrease therapeutic efficacy. PQR-309 is in phase II clinical trial for the treatment of glioblastoma, head and neck cancer, lymphoma and breast cancer. Common adverse events included fatigue, hyperglycemia, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, rash, anorexia and vomiting.

Sulfatinib (previously known as HMPL-012) was developed as a small-molecule inhibitor targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1 and 3, fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 and colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor with potential antineoplastic and anti-angiogenic activities. Sulfatinib has shown encouraging antitumor activity and manageable toxicities in patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors (NET). The drug is participating in two ongoing phases III studies, validating the efficacy of surufatinib in patients with NETs. In addition, in November 2018, Hutchison MediPharma completed a phase II trial of sulfatinib, for the treatment of patients with biliary tract cancer. This drug is also participating in the phase II trial that is currently in recruiting status in treating advanced medullary thyroid carcinoma.

Uprosertib is an oral potent Akt inhibitor which acts equally on Akt1, Akt2 and Akt3. The drug is under clinical development in combination with trametinib for the treatment of different cancers, including melanoma, myeloma, breast, endometrial, cervical cancer, etc.

Serabelisib (INK1117 and TAK-117) is an orally bioavailable, PI3K p110α- isoform-specific inhibitor with an in vitro IC50 of 15 nM, highly selective against other isoforms (p110β, p110γ, and p110δ) and mTOR (no significant inhibitions at 1 μM concentration). It displayed significant efficacy in several PI3Kα mutant-specific preclinical mouse xenograft tumor models, and blocked signaling to Akt and inhibited the growth of cancer cells harboring wild-type or mutated p110α. Preclinical studies showed TAK-117 to have the low potential for disrupting glucose metabolism or for causing cardiac adverse events; in rats and monkeys, doses up to 50 mg/kg/day were well tolerated. Serabelisib is currently under clinical evaluation.

1H-2-BENZOPYRAN-3-ACETIC ACID, 8-HYDROXY-6-METHOXY-Α-METHYL-1-OXO- (NM-3) is an orally bioavailable antiangiogenic isocoumarin with potential antineoplastic activity. NM-3 inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a pro-angiogenic growth factor, thereby inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation. NM-3 induces apoptosis by a mechanism involving reactive oxygen species. In human MCF-7 and ZR-75-1 breast cancer cells, NM-3 induces the p21 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, cell cycle arrest at G1-S-phase, and necrotic cell death. NM-3 has been used in trials studying the treatment of solid tumours.
