The phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase / Akt signaling pathway is currently one of the most exciting drug targets in oncology. However only a short time ago, the paradigm existed that drugs targeted to the four PI3K class 1 isoforms would be too toxic for use in cancer therapy due to effects on physiological signaling. Since that time studies have delineated the roles of these four isoforms in non-pathological signaling as well as their roles in cancer. An extensive effort has gone into developing agents that inhibit one or more PI3K isoforms, as well as closely related proteins implicated in cancer. These agents have proven to be tolerable and therapeutically beneficial in animal studies, and a number are in clinical testing. The agents, their properties and their molecular targets are discussed in this review.
