PI3Kδ is an appealing target for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Diverse alkynyls were introduced to quinazolin-4(3H)-one PI3Kδ inhibitors. 8d showed high potency against PI3Kδ (3.82 nM) and SU-DHL-6 cells (7.60 nM). 8d resulted in reduction of phosphorylation of both Akt (S473) and S6k1 (T389). 8d also showed potent activity as well against T lymphoblast MOLT-4.
