The optimization of a potent and highly selective series of dual mTORC1 and mTORC2 inhibitors is described. An initial focus on improving cellular potency whilst maintaining or improving other key parameters, such as aqueous solubility and margins over hERG IC(50), led to the discovery of the clinical candidate AZD8055 (14). Further optimization, particularly aimed at reducing the rate of metabolism in human hepatocyte incubations, resulted in the discovery of the clinical candidate AZD2014 (21).
