Selective inhibition of exclusively transcription-regulating positive transcription elongation factor b/CDK9 is a promising new approach in cancer therapy. Starting from atuveciclib, the first selective CDK9 inhibitor to enter clinical development, lead optimization efforts aimed at identifying intravenously (iv) applicable CDK9 inhibitors with an improved therapeutic index led to the discovery of
选择性抑制专门的转录调节正转录延伸因子 b/CDK9 是癌症治疗中一种很有前途的新方法。从第一个进入临床开发的选择性 CDK9 抑制剂 atuveciclib 开始,旨在通过静脉注射 (iv) 确定具有改进治疗指数的适用 CDK9 抑制剂的优化工作导致了高效和选择性临床候选药物 VIP152 的发现。对各种支架啤酒花的评估有助于鉴定 VIP152,其特征在于未充分探索的苄基亚砜亚胺基团。VIP152 在体外和体内表现出最佳的临床前总体特征,包括在小鼠和大鼠的异种移植模型中每周一次 iv 给药后的高功效和良好的耐受性。
