In Vitro Enzyme Inhibition Assay: The inhibition of PI3K-beta, PI3K-alpha, PI3K-gamma and PI3K-delta was evaluated in a Kinase Glo based enzyme activity assay using human recombinant enzymes. Compounds in 100% DMSO were added to assay plates by acoustic dispensing. PI3K enzyme was added in a Tris buffer (50 mM Tris pH7.4, 0.05% CHAPS, 2.1 mM DTT, and 10 mM magnesium chloride) and allowed to preincubate with compound for 20 minutes prior to addition of substrate solution containing PIP2 and ATP. The enzyme reaction was stopped after 80 minutes by the addition of Kinase Glo detection solution containing Lucferin and Luciferase (from Kinase Glo® Plus Luminecent Kinase Assay kit (Promega #V3772). Plates were left for 30 minutes at room temperature then read on a Pherastar Instrument with a standard Luminescence filter block. The final concentration of DMSO, ATP and PIP2 in the assay were, 1%, 8 uM, and 80 uM respectively.

Cell Based Assay: This assay was used to measure PI3K-alpha inhibition in cells. BT474 cells (human breast ductal carcinoma, ATCC HTB-20) were seeded into black 384 well plates (Costar, #3712) at a density of 5600 cells/well in DMEM containing 10% FBS and 1% glutamine and allowed to adhere overnight.The following morning compounds in 100% DMSO were added to assay plates by acoustic dispensing. After a 2 hour incubation at 37 C. and 5% CO2, the medium was aspirated and the cells were lysed with a buffer containing 25 mM Tris, 3 mM EDTA, 3 mM EGTA, 50 mM sodium fluoride, 2 mM Sodium orthovanadate, 0.27M sucrose, 10 mM beta-glycerophosphate, 5 mM sodium pyrophosphate, 0.5% Triton X-100 and complete protease inhibitor cocktail tablets (Roche #04 693 116 001, used 1 tab per 50 ml lysis buffer).After 20 minutes, the cell lysates were transferred into ELISA plates (Greiner #781077) which had been pre-coated with an anti total-AKT antibody in PBS buffer.
