Patent number: 8440662Abstract: The present application provides novel substituted quinazoline and pyrido-pyrimidine compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Also provided are methods for preparing these compounds. These compounds are useful in co-regulating PI3K and/or mTOR activity by administering a therapeutically effective amount of one or more of the compounds to a patient. By doing so, these compounds are effective in treating conditions associated with the dysregulation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Advantageously, these compounds perform as dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitors. A variety of conditions can be treated using these compounds and include diseases which are characterized by inflammation or abnormal cellular proliferation. In one embodiment, the disease is cancer.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2011Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Inventors: Roger Astbury Smith, Scott Kevin Thompson, Subramanya Hosahalli, Mallesham Bejugam, Srinivas Nanduri, Sunil Kumar Panigrahi, Natarajan Mahalingam
