Compound M24 is a selective angiotensin II AT2 receptor agonist with a Ki value of 0.4 nM for the AT2 receptor. Compound enhances in vivo duodenal alkaline secretion in Sprague-Dawley rats, and lowers the mean arterial blood pressure in anesthetized, spontaneously hypertensive rats. In a mouse model of atherosclerosis, plaque size and stability were improved in ApoE‐/‐ mice treated with M24. Treatment with M24 resulted in decrease in scar size and reduction in markers of inflammation in a rat model of myocardial infaction.

AZD-6482 is being developed by AstraZeneca to evaluate its therapeutic effects in the treatment of thrombosis. AZD-6482 is essentially a PI3K-beta inhibitor. It is a PI3Kβ inhibitor with IC50 of 10 nM, 8-, 87- and 109-fold more selective to PI3Kβ than PI3Kδ, PI3Kα and PI3Kγ in cell-free assays. by targeting PI3Kβ, AZD-6482 specifically inhibits thrombosis without interfering with normal haemostasis. Therefore, AZD-6482 is used as an anti-thrombotic drug for the prophylaxis of thrombotic disorders. AZD-6482 was in phase I trials by AstraZeneca for the prevention of thrombosis. However, the study was discontinued.

ABTL 0812 is a autophagy inducer that acts via PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway and has a dual mechanism of action. ABTL-0812 is a first-in-class small molecule, orally administered that binds to the nuclear receptors PPARα/γ inducing TRIB3 overexpression which blocks Akt activation, the central kinase of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, and inducing PPAR-dependent Endoplasmic Reticular Stress (ER-stress). The combination of TRIB3-mediated inhibition of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway and the ER-Stress induction results in an autophagy-mediated cancer cell death. In animal cancer models ABTL0812 is efficacious as single agent with an excellent safety profile in a broad spectrum of cancer types: lung, endometrial and pancreatic cancer and neuroblastoma. ABTL0812 is also active on cells resistant to other targeted therapies, on tumor stem cells and inhibits metastasis formation. Preliminary results show promising immunomodulatory effects. ABTL0812 is currently in phase 2 clinical trials in Europe in patients with endometrial cancer or squamous cell lung cancer, as a first-line treatment in combination with chemotherapy and as a maintenance treatment after the chemotherapy cycles. The study is being conducted in leading cancer hospitals in Spain and France. This same phase 2 study was also approved by the US FDA in December 2017. In addition, the FDA approved the protocol for a phase 2 study in pancreatic cancer in January 2018. ABTL-0812 has also received Orphan Drug Designations (ODD) for pancreatic cancer, biliary cancer and the pediatric cancer neuroblastoma by the FDA in the USA and by the EMA in Europe.
