1
Targeting the cell cycle and CDKs
• Inhibition of CDK activity is an attractive therapeutic concept
• Anticipated effects, based on mechanism, include:
Tumor cell-specific apoptosis Reversible inhibition of proliferation in normal cells
• Phenotypes confirmed by extensive experimental validation (siRNA, dominant negatives and reference inhibitors)
• Activity versus CDK2 and CDK1 shown to be essential for efficacy
2
Target candidate profile
1. Potent, selective inhibitor of CDK2 and CDK1
2. Broad spectrum of activity (in vitro and in vivo)
3. Differential effects on tumor versus normal cells
Apoptosis in tumors Transient arrest in normal tissues Non-genotoxic MOA
4. Acceptable therapeutic index
Superior to competition and standards of care
5. Suitable for iv formulation and infusion
6. Reversible and manageable side-effects
3
CDK2 vs. GSK3
Selectivity issue
4
Lead finding
•Early effort: synthesis based on molecular modeling: chemotypes capable of binding to the protein backbone (e.g. indazoles) - acceptable in vitro activity (< 50 nM), poor potency in the cell.
•Variety of compound libraries purchased to improve hit rate in kinase inhibitor programs.
•CDK2 actives found in Biofocus kinase-directed libraries.

• How do they compare to known CDK inhibitors?
