An efficient synthesis of 2-substituted O(4)-cyclohexylmethyl-5-nitroso-6-aminopyrimidines from 6-amino-2-mercaptopyrimidin-4-ol has been developed and used to prepare a range of derivatives for evaluation as inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2). The structure-activity relationships (SARs) are similar to those observed for the corresponding O(6)-cyclohexylmethoxypurine series with the 2-arylsulfonamide and 2-arylcarboxamide derivatives showing excellent potency. Two compounds, 4-(6-amino-4-cyclohexylmethoxy-5-nitrosopyrimidin-2-ylamino)-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)benzenesulfonamide (7q) and 4-(6-amino-4-cyclohexylmethoxy-5-nitrosopyrimidin-2-ylamino)-N-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)benzenesulfonamide (7s), were the most potent with IC50 values of 0.7 +/- 0.1 and 0.8 +/- 0.0 nM against CDK2, respectively. The SARs determined in this study are discussed with reference to the crystal structure of 4-(6-amino-4-cyclohexylmethoxy-5-nitrosopyrimidin-2-ylamino)-N-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)benzenesulfonamide (7j) bound to phosphorylated CDK2/cyclin A.

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) regulate cell cycle progression and transcription. CDK7 plays a pivotal role in cell division and proliferation, and the CDK7 gene often exhibits mutations or copy number loss in cancer. Pharmacological targeting of CDK7 has been proposed as a cancer treatment strategy and several inhibitors are currently in clinical trials.

Immunogenic cell death (ICD) has recently emerged as a promising strategy in reinforcing anti-PD-L1 blockade immunotherapy of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib (PAL), as a clinical star medicine targeting the cell cycle machinery, is an ideal candidate for fabricating a highly efficient ICD inducer for TNBC chemoimmunotherapy. However, the frequently observed chemoresistance and clinical adverse effects, as well as significant antagonistic effects when co-administered with certain chemotherapeutics, have seriously restricted the efficiency of PAL and the feasibility of combination strategies.

The down-regulation of p21 after long-term CDK4/6 inhibition represents a key mechanism causing resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors in some tumor cells, while the HDAC inhibitor could upregulate the level of p21. Herein, a series of novel CDK4/6 and HDAC dual-targeting inhibitors based on the moiety of palbociclib were designed and synthesized. Among them, compound N14 potently inhibited CDK4/6 and HDAC1/6 at nanomolar levels and induced cell apoptosis and G/G phase arrest through HDAC-p21-CDK signaling pathway in HuH-7 cell line.

Background: The unmet needs of managing patients with hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HR+/HER2-) breast cancer who progress after cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) treatment remain unclarified.

Methods: This was a phase 1b/2, single-arm, open-label study that enrolled 29 patients with HR+/HER2- breast cancer who experienced first-line palbociclib treatment failure. The primary endpoint was the incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT).

<b>Background and Objective:</b> Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in Indonesia, where traditional herbal treatments like <i>Zanthoxylum acanthopodium</i> (andaliman) are culturally used. Investigating protein biomarkers such as E7, pRb, EGFR and p16 can help assess the efficacy of these treatments. <b>Materials and Methods:</b> There were 5 groups in this study: 2 control groups (C- and C+) and 3 treatment groups (each receiving one of three doses).
