[0001] The present disclosure provides phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors, and compositions, and methods for treating diseases or disorders (e.g., cancer and autoimmune diseases and disorders) with PI3K inhibitors or compositions thereof.CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Nos. 63 / 713,881, filed October 30, 2024, and 63 / 825.297, filed June 17, 2025, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.BACKGROUND
[0003] Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are a family of enzymes involved in multiple cellular functions, including growth, survival, and metabolism. Dysregulated activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway is observed in various human cancers, playing a key role in tumor progression and survival. The PI3K family consists of four isoforms, PI3Ka, PI3K0, PI3K5, and PI3Ky, classified based on their catalytic and regulatory subunits. Among the PI3K isoforms, PI3Ka and PI3K.[3 are not only expressed on tumor cells but are also found in various normal tissues, which presents a significant challenge due to the potential for off-target toxicity. PI3K5, although it has been successfully targeted in therapies and was previously approved by the FDA, was later withdrawn from the market due to its association with decreased overall survival in treated patients. There are currently no approved PI3Ky inhibitors on the market, and its selective expression suggests that targeting PI3Ky may modulate the tumor microenvironment with potentially less toxicity compared to PI3Ka, PI3K0, or PI3K5 inhibitors. IPI-549, a PI3Ky inhibitor that has completed a Phase II clinical trial, demonstrated only modest efficacy, with intolerant hepatic side effects at low doses. These dose-limiting toxicities may be related to the drug's affinity for other PI3K isoforms, such as PI3Ka. PI3K(3. and PI3K5, as in vivo concentrations of IPI-549 can reach levels comparable to their IC50 values.SUMMARY

[0041] Described herein are phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors and compositions thereof. PI3Ky inhibitor is an immunomodulator to polarize M2 tumor-associate macrophages (TAMs) to proinfl ammatory macrophages which can inhibit tumor growth. The current PI3Ky inhibitor IPI-549 (brand name Eganelisib) is in phase II clinical trial combined with Tecentriq and Abraxane to treat triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Although the combined therapy showed prolonged patients progressive free survival period compared with Tecentriq and Abraxane patient group, IPI-549 induced severe hepatic toxicity in about 20% patients. Therefore, it is necessary to decrease toxicity of IPI-549 while maintaining its efficacy.

[0196] The binding affinity7to PI3K a, ft, 8, y was tested using PI3Ka (pl l0a / p85a), PI3K0 (pl lO(3 / p85a), PI3K 6 (pl 10 6 Zp85 a) and PI3Ky (pl l0y / PIK3R5) assay kits (BPS Bioscience) separately. As shown in Table 1, the 1C50 of SH-315 against P13Ky is 110 nM, while it did not inhibit other three isoforms (PI3Ka PI3K0, PI3K5) with IC50s of greater than 5,000 - 10,000 nM. Thus, SH- 315 only inhibits PI3Ky, not the other three isoforms at in vivo effective concentration for clinically relevant doses. In contrast, the reported PI3Ky inhibitor IPI-549 inhibited PI3Ky with IC50 of 5.5 nM, but it also inhibited other three PI3K isoforms (PI3KaPI3K.[L PI3K.5) with its IC50s ranging from 900Atty. Docket No. UM-43981.601Client Ref No. 2025-184 to 1500 nM, indicating that IPI-549 may inhibit all four isoforms at in vivo effective concentration for clinically relevant doses.Table 1.

[0197] PI3K selectivity at the cellular level is indicated by the phosphorylation of AKT at Ser473 or Thr308, which occurs as a subsequent step following PI3K activation. The experiments were conducted using cells with predominant expression of specific PI3K isoforms.
[0198] Cellular activity of PI3K gamma (IPI-549, SH-315, SH-327) and delta (TGR-1202) inhibitors in bone-marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) indicated PI3K gamma selectivity (FIG. 1). IPI-549 showed stronger pAKT inhibition on BMDM than SH-315 and SH-327. To assess PI3Ky activity, N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP)-stimulated neutrophils, where fMLP activates G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling upstream of PI3Ky were used. All three compounds, IPI-549, SH-315 and SH-327, effectively inhibited AKT phosphorylation at 5pM, confirming their ability to block PI3Ky-mediated signaling (FIG. 1C). To determine whether IPI-549 acts as a pan-PI3K inhibitor, bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) stimulated with Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (M-CSF), which activates receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and subsequently all class IA PI3K isoforms (a, (3, and 5) were used. AKT phosphorylation in this system is inhibited when all three isoforms are simultaneously blocked. IPI-549 inhibited AKT phosphorylation at IpM. whereas SH-315 and SH-327, and the PI3K5-selective inhibitor TGR-1202 failed to inhibit AKT phosphorylation even at 5pM, further confirming that IPI-549 functions as a pan-PI3K inhibitor, while SH-315 and SH-327 are selective for PI3Ky (FIG. ID).
[0199] Cellular activity of PI3K gamma (IPI-549, SH-315, SH-327), alpha (BYL-719) and beta (TGX-221) inhibitors in MC38 (colon tumor), Py230 (breast tumor) and B16F10 (melanoma) cells, indicated PI3K alpha and beta selectivity (FIG. 2). IPI-549 showed pAKT inhibition on MC38 and Py230, similar to PI3K alpha inhibitor BYL-719. IPI-549 showed pAKT inhibition on B16F10,Atty. Docket No. UM-43981.601Client Ref No. 2025-184 similar to PI3K beta inhibitor TGX-221. However, both SH-327 and SH-315 did not show obvious PI3K alpha or beta selectivity.
[0200] IPI-549 may exert direct anti-tumor effects by inhibiting tumor-intrinsic PI3K signaling, potentially through off-target PI3Ka inhibition. While this may contribute to its anti-tumor efficacy, it also raises concerns regarding systemic toxicity, as PI3Ka is broadly expressed in normal tissues and critical for physiological homeostasis. PI3Ky inhibitors are theoretically designed to modulate immune cells in the tumor microenvironment rather than act directly on tumor cells. Therefore, the observed pAKT inhibition by IPI-549 suggests a deviation from this intended specificity, which may underlie both its therapeutic and toxicological profile.
[0201] Macrophage repolarization was evaluated after treatment with select compounds (FIGS. 3 and 4).
[0202] To assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) and tissue distribution profiles of three PI3Ky inhibitors, MMTV-PyMT transgenic breast cancer mice were orally administered a single 10 mg / kg dose of each compound. Drug concentrations were measured in plasma, whole blood, liver, tumor, tumor-draining lymph node (TDLN), spleen, lung, heart, and kidney at 0.5. 2, 6, and 24 hours postadministration (FIG. 9).
[0203] IPI-549 exhibited a rapid absorption profile, reaching peak concentration (Cmax) at approximately 0.5 hours. Notably, the Cmax of IPI-549 was substantially higher than that of SH-327 and SH-315 in plasma, liver, heart, and kidney, which may correlate with the increased systemic toxicift (FIGS. 14-16). Despite its higher tumor accumulation at Cmax, IPI-549 demonstrated decreased anti-tumor efficacy compared to SH-327. In contrast, SH-327 showed preferential accumulation in the spleen, a key immune organ. This enhanced splenic distribution may facilitate modulation of immune cell populations, such as myeloid cells and T cells, potentially contributing to its therapeutic efficacy. SH-327 preferentially accumulated in the lung, suggesting its potential to inhibit pulmonary metastases and improve overall survival.Example 4 Anti-Cancer Activity
[0204] The MMTV-PyMT transgenic mouse model is a well-established, spontaneous breast cancer model that closely mimics the progression and immunological features of human luminal B breast cancer, including early tumor onset, metastasis, and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.
[0205] In vivo anti -tumor efficacy of PI3K gamma inhibitors was evaluated in a mouse model by monitoring tumor volumes (FIGS. 5, 6, and 8) and survival (FIG. 7). Dose regimen for all mouseAtty. Docket No. UM-43981.601Client Ref No. 2025-184 models: IPI-549 / SH-315 / SH-327 every day p.o. for 14 days, lOmg / kg; paclitaxel (PTX, lOmg / kg, i.p.) and aPD-1 (100 / zg / mouse, i.p.). every three days, total 5 doses.
[0206] Using this model, the therapeutic effect of SH-327, SH-315, and IPI-549 in combination with paclitaxel and anti-PD-1 antibody, starting treatment at 10 weeks of age and continuing until the experimental endpoint. When used in combination, SH-327 markedly inhibited tumor growth compared to IPI-549 and SH-315, indicating superior efficacy in this immunologically challenging setting (FIG. 12). In contrast, SH-327 or IPI-549 used alone did not significantly reduce tumor burden, highlighting the importance of combination therapy to overcome tumor immune evasion and chemoresistance in this model (FIG. 13).
[0207] When combined with paclitaxel and anti-PD-1 antibody, SH-327 exhibited anti-tumor efficacy comparable to IPI-549 after two weeks of treatment (FIG. 13 A). Notably, SH-327 achieved greater tumor grow th inhibition than IPI-549 as early as one week into treatment (FIG. 13C). In mice that achieved a complete response, no tumor relapse was observed for over 150 days (FIGS. 13B and 13D), indicating a durable and sustained therapeutic effect.
[0208] To evaluate the systemic toxicity of IPI-549 and SH-327, complete blood count (CBC) analysis and histopathological examinations were performed on normal C57BL / 6 mice treated with either low (20mg / kg, p.o., daily) or high (60mg / kg, p.o., daily) doses of SH-327 or IPI-549 for one month. Notably, one mouse in the IPI-549 low -dose group and tw o mice in the IPI-549 high-dose group died within 10 days of treatment initiation. In contrast, no mortality was observed in either the low - or high-dose groups treated with SH-327 (FIG. 14).
[0209] In the CBC analysis, no significant changes in circulating cell populations were observed in any treatment group after 2 w eeks (FIG. 15 A). However, by w eek 4, mice treated w ith high-dose IPI-549 (60 mg / kg) exhibited a significant reduction in white blood cells (WBC), neutrophils (NEU), and lymphocytes (LYM) compared to baseline (FIGS. 15A-15B). No such reductions were observed in either the low-dose IPI-549 group or in any of the SH-327-treated groups, regardless of dose.
[0210] Histopathological analysis of spleen sections revealed that mice in the IPI-549 high-dose group exhibited markedly increased extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH). The red pulp was densely populated with blast-like erythroid and myeloid precursor cells, as well as numerous megakaryocytes, w ith a near-complete absence of mature myeloid cells (FIG. 16). In contrast, spleens from SH-327 -treated mice displayed no such abnormalities. No histopathologic alterations were observed in the heart, lung, liver, kidney, or colon in any group.
[0211] To evaluate tumor-associated immune alterations, the immune cell composition in tumors and tumor-draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) of MMTV-PyMT transgenic mice were compared with the mammary fat pad and lymph nodes (LNs) of age- and strain-matched wild-type FVB / NJ mice,Atty. Docket No. UM-43981.601Client Ref No. 2025-184 the genetic background of the MMTV-PyMT model. The mammary' fat pad serves as the normal tissue counterpart to the tumor, enabling direct comparison of tumor-induced immune remodeling.
[0212] Flow cytometry analysis revealed a striking shift in the immune landscape of MMTV- PyMT tumors. In wild-type FVB / NJ mammary fat pads, myeloid cells comprised approximately 10% of total CD45+immune cells. In contrast, this proportion increased dramatically to approximately 90% in MMTV-PyMT tumors, with neutrophils and monocytes rising from 1-3% in normal fat pads to approximately 30% each in tumors (FIG. 17A). Conversely, T cells made up approximately 50% of immune cells in normal FVB / NJ fat pads, but were markedly reduced to approximately 8% in tumors, with both CD4+and CD8+T cell subsets significantly decreased (Fig. 6B). A similar trend was observed in the lymphoid compartments. In tumor-draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) of MMTV-PyMT mice, the proportion of total myeloid cells, neutrophils, and monocytes was approximately doubled compared to normal LNs from FVB / NJ controls, while T cell frequencies did not change a lot (FIGS. 17C-17D).
[0213] These changes reflect a myeloid-dominant and T cell-suppressed immune microenvironment in both the tumor and its draining lymph node, supporting the use of PI3Ky inhibitors to suppress immunosuppressive myeloid populations such as neutrophils and monocytes and enhance T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity, thereby improving the immune contexture of the tumor and TDLN.
[0214] Treatment with SH-327 resulted in a more pronounced reduction of immunosuppressive myeloid populations compared to IPI-549, specifically, a significantly decreased neutrophil infiltration in MC38 tumors (FIG. 18A) and a reduction in total myeloid cell percentage in tumordraining lymph nodes (TDLNs) as compared to IPI-549 (FIG. 18C). SH-327 did not reduce neutrophil counts in the peripheral blood of normal mice (FIG. 15), suggesting that it may selectively target tumor-associated inflammatory neutrophils without broadly depleting systemic neutrophil populations. In parallel, SH-327 markedly increased intratumoral T cell infiltration, including both CD4+and CD8+T cell subsets, as well as natural killer (NK) cells (FIG. 18B). In contrast, IPI-549 treatment did not significantly elevate T cell or NK cell levels in tumor compared to the vehicle control group. These changes suggest that SH-327 enhanced the immune microenvironment by both suppressing myeloid-driven immunosuppression and promoting lymphocyte-mediated immunity, which may collectively contribute to its superior therapeutic efficacy.Atty.

[0215] Albumin nanoformulations were prepared by dissolving lOmg SH-315 or SH-327 in 1ml chloroform, adding the resulting dropwise into lOOmg mouse serum albumin (MSA) dissolved in 20ml Milli-Q water to generate oil-in-water emulsion. The emulsion was run six cycles at pressure 25000-30000psi on Nano DeBEE. Chloroform was then removed by rotary evaporator to get SH-315 and SH-327 encapsulated in albumin nanoparticles (NP-315 and NP-327). The size distribution was determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) (FIG. 10).
[0216] In vivo anti-tumor efficacy PI3K gamma inhibitors (SH-315, SH-327) in nano-formulation was monitored following intravenous injection under the following dose regimens: IPI-549 / SH- 315 / SH-327 i.v. every three days, total 5 doses. lOmg / kg; paclitaxel (PTX, lOmg / kg, i.p.) and aPD-1 (lOOjUg / mouse, i.p.), every three days, total 5 doses (FIG. 11).
[0217] SH-327 was efficiently encapsulated in human serum albumin (HSA). SH-315 was incorporated into HSA and MSA nanoparticles with the addition of a small amount of itraconazole. SH-344-1 did not significantly alter the compound's PI3K isoform selectivity, as compared to SH-315 and SH-327, but improved its compatibility with albumin, enabling successful encapsulation without auxiliary agents. The size distribution was determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) (FIG. 19).
[0218] lOmg SH-344-1 was dissolved in the co-solvent composed of 0.8ml chloroform and 0.2ml methanol. 8mg SH-315 and 2mg itraconazole were dissolved in 1ml chloroform. lOmg SH-327 was dissolved in the co-solvent composed of 0.8ml chloroform and 0.2ml methanol and was then heat at 70°C for 5min. Then the dissolved compound was added dropwise into lOOmg mouse serum albumin (MSA) or 50mg human serum albumin (HSA) dissolved in 20ml Milli-Q w ater to generate oil-in-water emulsion. The emulsion was run six cycles at pressure 25000-30000psi on Nano DeBEE. Chloroform or methanol was then removed by rotary evaporator to get SH-344-1, SH-315 / itraconazole and SH- 327 encapsulated in albumin nanoparticles (NP-344-1, NP-315 / itraconazole and NP-327).Example 6 Activity in Lupus Model
[0219] Lupus in MRL-lpr mice is characterized by lymphadenopathy (enlarged lymph nodes) and large spleen size due to hyperactive immune system in the lymphatic system. To test the efficacy of SH-315 to reduce the size of lymph nodes and spleen in lupus model, the size and number of lymph nodes in MRL-lpr lupus mice treated with SH-315 (PO, 15 mg / kg) from week 11- week 17 was monitored (FIG. 20 A). The weight of lymph nodes and spleen at 18-weeks was also measured (FIG.Atty. Docket No. UM-43981.601Client Ref No. 2025-18420B). SH-315 treatment reduced lymph node size, lymph node weight, and spleen weight in MRL- Ipr mice.
[0220] The auto-antibody against self-antigen, such as ds-DNA or nuclear proteins, generated by hyperactive B cell immunity, is often seen in lupus and the MRL-lpr lupus mouse model. To test the efficacy of SH-315 to reduce auto-antibody, the ds-DNA autoantibody in the serum of MRL-lpr lupus mice was monitored after treatment of SH-315 (PO, 15 mg / kg for 17-20 weeks). SH-315 significantly decreased ds-DNA antibody, as shown in FIG. 21.
[0221] MRL-lpr lupus mice often develop nephritis due to damage of kidney function. To test the efficacy of SH-315 to treat lupus nephritis, proteinuria, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in the MRL- lpr was measured mice treated with SH-315 (PO 15 mg / kg for 17-20 weeks). The data showed that treatment of SH-315 significantly reduced urine protein level (FIG. 22A) and prevented the elevation of serum BUN and creatinine (FIG. 22B), indicating a reduction in proteinuria and improved renal function.
[0222] Cutaneous lesions are a common manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in both humans and lupus-prone mice, often reflecting underlying immune activation and local inflammation. In MRL-lpr mice, spontaneous development of ear skin lesions closely models lupus- associated dermatitis seen in patients, making it a relevant endpoint for therapeutic evaluation. Treatment SH-315 markedly reduced the occurrence of ear skin lesions in MRL-lpr mice. As shown in representative images (FIG. 23 A), control mice exhibited visible ear wounds and inflammation, whereas SH-315-treated mice showed no apparent skin damage. Quantification of lesion incidence revealed that 37.5% (3 out of 8) of mice in the control group developed ear skin lesions, while no lesions were observed in the SH-315 -treated group (0 out of 10), indicating that SH-315 effectively prevented lupus-associated cutaneous manifestations (FIG. 23B).
[0223] The high level of auto-antibody against self-antigen is usually generated by hyperactive B cell immunity. The hyperactive B cells recognize self-antigen through its B cell receptor to bind and uptake these antigens resulting in presentation to CD4 T helper cells. These process-activated B cells form geminal center (GC) B cells. Upon further antigen recognition by the GC B cells in the germinal center with help of follicular T cells, these B cells will undergo clonal expansion / selection and maturation to generate long-lived plasma B cells to secrete auto-antibody against self-antigens. The reduction of plasma B cells is one of the critical goals in treatment of lupus. However, most current therapeutic regimens are ineffective to reduce antibody secreting plasma B cells.
[0224] To test the efficacy of SH-315 on the reduction of B cell immunity, plasma B cells, GC B cells, marginal zone B cells, and total B cells in the spleen and lymph nodes of MRL-lpr lupus mice w ere measured after treatment of SH-315 (PO, 15 mg / kg from week 11 to week 17). SH-315Atty. Docket No. UM-43981.601Client Ref No. 2025-184 significantly decreased antibody secreting plasma B cells by 2.4-fold in spleen (FIGS. 24A-24C) and 2.9-fold in LN (FIGS. 24D-24E). SH-315 decreased the precursor of plasma cells, germinal center B cells, by 2.8-fold in spleen (FIGS. 24A-24C), strongly suggesting that SH-315 reduced auto-antibody through reduction of plasma B cells. However, it is interesting that SH-315 did not inhibit total B cells, suggesting that SH-315 may not affect normal B cells, thereby avoiding toxicity.
[0225] The activation of T cells in lupus may also exacerbate the disease progression the tissue damage. To test the effect of SH-315 on the T cells, CD4, CD8 and CD4 CD8 B220+double negative T cells in the spleen and lymph nodes of MRL-lpr mice were measured after treatment of SH-315 (PO 15 mg / kg for 17-20 weeks). SH-315 significantly decreased double negative CD4- / CD8- cells by 2-fold in spleen (FIGS. 25A-25B).
[0226] Hyperactivation of myeloid cell-mediated innate immune system is another risk factor for lupus. To test the effect of SH-315 on the activation of myeloid cells, the activation and total number neutrophils, monocytes, dendritic cells and macrophages in the lymph nodes and spleen of MRL-lpr mice were measured after SH-315 treatment (PO 15 mg / kg from week 11 to week 17). SH-315 decreased the activation of neutrophils, monocytes and macrophages by 1.9-fold. 2.5-fold, and 1.7- fold respectively in spleen (FIGS. 26A-26C), and decreased the total number of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) by 3.5-fold in spleen (FIGS. 26D-26E). SH-315 treatment also decreased total number of neutrophils and monocytes by 6.6-fold and 2.5-fold in lymph node (FIGS. 26 F-26G). The results suggest a beneficial effect of SH-315 to treat lupus by tempering the myeloid cell-mediated innate immunity. Interestingly, SH-315 did not alter the total number of neutrophils in blood and spleen. This may provide advantages to reduce its toxicity on normal neutrophils.
[0227] To test the toxicity of SH-315 in MRL-lpr mice, the mice were dosed with SH-315 (PO 15 mg / kg from week 11 to week 17) and complete blood counts (CBCs) (white blood cells, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, red blood cells, platelets, hematocrit) were monitored. Treatment with SH-315 did not alter total white blood cell (WBC) count or the counts of major leukocyte subsets, including neutrophils (NEU), lymphocytes (LYM), monocytes (MONO), eosinophils (EOS), and basophils (BAS), as determined by complete blood count (CBC) analysis at 18 weeks of age (FIG. 27), suggesting SH-315 did not induce hematological toxicity.
