Executive Summary
Someone seeking a clinical space that offers a great deal of activity and anticipation, and where the major developments and dealmaking remain around the corner, would have to look no further than the PI3 kinase area. Early bets placed on PI3K pan-selective inhibitors may pay off, but smart money lately has been focused on isoform-selective inhibition of this signaling pathway implicated in cancer, inflammation, and autoimmune disease. In this issue, we profile three emerging companies hoping to succeed in developing PI3K inhibitors for diverse clinical applications: Arno Therapeutics, Intellikine, and Paloma Pharmaceuticals.
