Second-generation tricyclic pyrimido-pyrrolo-oxazine mTOR inhibitor with predicted blood–brain barrier permeability

Highly selective mTOR inhibitors have been discovered through the exploration of the heteroaromatic ring engaging the binding affinity region in mTOR kinase. Compound 11 showed predicted BBB permeability in a MDCK-MDR1 permeability in vitro assay, being the first pyrimido-pyrrolo-oxazine with potential application in the treatment of neurological disorders.
