Objective: PI3K is one of the most frequently mutated proteins in cancer, resulting in changes to its functions in regulating metabolism, immunity, among others. Despite the identification of specific drugs targeting PI3K, significant resistance tothese therapies has been observed. Therefore, the search for new inhibitors is crucial. This project proposes a strategy based on in silico computational tools for screening Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs, aiming to evaluate their potential for drug repositioning. Materials and methods: This study obtained the sequence of PI3Kα from UniProt Knowledgebase and its three-dimensional structure from AlphaFold Protein Structure Database, which were then coupled with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and its selective inhibitors: inavolisib, taselisib, CH5132799, alpelisib and ZSTK474. Drug-protein interaction analysiswas performed usin...
