Biologieal
ZSTK474, a novel s-triazine derivative, binds to the ATP-binding site of Class I phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3K) and inhibits PI3K activity. ZSTK474 has strong antitumor activities against human cancer xenografts (A549, PC-3 and WiDr) when administered orally to mice. Furthermore, ZSTK474 did not show significant toxicity at the doses tested.
