Definition
ChEBI: Copanlisib is an imidazoquinazoline that is 2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-c]quinazoline substituted by (2-aminopyrimidine-5-carbonyl)amino, methoxy, and 3-(morpholin-4-yl)propoxy groups at positions 5, 7 and 8, respectively. It is a intravenous pan-class I PI3K inhibitor used for the treatment of relapsed follicular lymphoma in patients who have received at least 2 prior systemic therapies. It has a role as an EC 2.7.1.137 (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase) inhibitor, an antineoplastic agent and an apoptosis inducer. It is a member of morpholines, an aromatic ether, a diether, a tertiary amino compound, a secondary carboxamide, a pyrimidinecarboxamide, an aminopyrimidine and an imidazoquinazoline.
Pharmacokinetics
Copanlisib has poor oral bioavailability due to
low permeability and poor solubility, and therefore, it
is not suitable for an oral medication. Consequently,
it was developed as an IV drug. IV infusion of
copanlisib resulted in rapid distribution throughout
the body and a prolonged elimination half-life (52 h).
