Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) plays a pivotal role in promoting oncogenic transcriptional pathways, significantly contributing to the development and progression of cancer. Given the unique biostability of d-amino acid, the development of d-amino acid-containing peptides (DAACPs) is a promising strategy for cancer treatment. Currently, no DAACPs inhibitor targeting CDK9-cyclin T1 have been reported.

CDK4/6 inhibitors are effective in treating HR/HER2 breast cancer but face limitations due to therapeutic resistance and hematological toxicity, particularly from strong CDK6 inhibition. To address these challenges, designing selective inhibitors targeting specific cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) members could offer clinical advantages and broaden CDK inhibitor indications. However, the highly conserved binding pockets of CDKs complicate selective targeting.

A cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor combined with endocrine therapy is the standard-of-care for patients with hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative advanced breast cancer. However, not all patients respond to the treatment, resistance often occurs and efficacy outcomes from early breast cancer trials have been mixed. To identify biomarkers associated with CDK4/6 inhibitor response or resistance, we combined bioinformatic-database analyses, artificial intelligence-assisted literature review, and manual literature review (Embase and OVID Medline; search window: January 2012-October 2022) to compile data to comprehensively describe the CDK4/6 inhibitor biomarker landscape.

Heterocyclic Synthesis Laboratory, Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Ain Shams University 11566, Abbassia, Cairo, Egypt.

The structural optimization of our recently reported CDK9 inhibitor to furnish novel aminopyrazolones and methylpyrazolones with improved pharmacokinetics. The synthesis of the targeted compounds was accomplished via conventional, grinding and microwave-assisted processes. The cytotoxicity of them was assayed against three carcinomas.

GFH009 is a potent and highly selective cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) inhibitor currently under phase II clinical trials. In this study, we investigated the metabolism and disposition of GFH009 in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, as well as metabolism of CD-1 mouse, SD rat, beagle dog, cynomolgus monkey, and human.A radiolabelled study indicated that [C]GFH009 was quickly and widely distributed throughout the body, but presented low levels in brain, testis, and epididymis after a single intravenous dose of 6 mg (100 µCi)/kg to SD rats.
