Ibw-959z May 2026

| Cell line | GI₅₀ (nM) | % Inhibition of p‑AKT (Ser473) at 1 nM | |-----------|----------|----------------------------------------| | OCI‑Ly3 | 0.12 ± 0.02 | 95 % | | MEC‑1 | 0.18 ± 0.03 | 92 % | | A549 | 31 ± 4 | 18 % | | MCF‑7 | 38 ± 5 | 22 % |

To overcome these limitations, we pursued a structure‑based design strategy targeting a unique hydrophobic pocket adjacent to the ATP‑binding site of PI3K‑δ. The resulting compound, IBZ‑959z (chemical name: ‑(4‑(4‑fluorophenyl)‑2‑pyrimidinyl)-2‑(3‑pyridyl)‑1‑pyrrolidine‑carboxamide), exhibits a novel heterocyclic core that confers high potency and isoform selectivity.

Figure 1A (dose‑response curves) illustrates the steep inhibition profile for PI3K‑δ. IBW‑959z inhibited proliferation of PI3K‑δ‑dependent cell lines with GI₅₀ values in the low‑picomolar range (Table 2). In contrast, the PI3K‑α/β‑dependent A549 and MCF‑7 lines were ~100‑fold less sensitive (GI₅₀ ≈ 30–40 nM). | Cell line | GI₅₀ (nM) | %
