title: Small molecule inhibitors of the PI3-kinase family.
abstract: The PI3-K family is one of the most intensely pursued classes of drug targets. This chapter reviews some of the chemical and structural features that determine the selectivity of PI3-K inhibitors, by focusing on a few key compounds that have been instrumental in guiding our understanding of how to design drugs against this family.
