| Targets |
CR8 targets multiple cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and casein kinase 1 (CK1). It acts as an ATP-competitive inhibitor, binding to the ATP-binding pocket of these kinases. It inhibits CDK1, CDK2, CDK5, CDK7, CDK9, and CK1δ/ε with varying potencies. By inhibiting these kinases, it modulates cell cycle progression, transcription, and other cellular processes, leading to anticancer and neuroprotective effects.

| ln Vitro |
(R)-CR8 (CR8) (0.1-100 μM; 48 hours) is a strong inducer of apoptosis with an IC50 of 0.49 μM in SH-SY5Y cell line [1]. (R)-CR8 (0.25-10 μM) promotes dose-dependent cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) [1]. The CDK-bound version of (R)-CR8 possesses a solvent-exposed pyridyl moiety that stimulates complex formation between CDK12-cyclin K and the CUL4 adaptor protein DDB1, bypassing the need for substrate receptors and presenting to the cell cycle Protein K suffers ubiquitination and destruction [3].
In vitro, CR8 is a potent inhibitor of CDK1/cyclin B (IC50 = 0.09 μM), CDK2/cyclin A (0.072 μM), CDK2/cyclin E (0.041 μM), CDK5/p25 (0.11 μM), CDK7/cyclin H (1.1 μM), CDK9/cyclin T (0.18 μM), and CK1δ/ε (0.4 μM). This broad inhibitory profile makes it a valuable tool for studying the role of these kinases in various cellular processes. It has anticancer and neuroprotective effects. |
| ln Vivo |
(R)-CR8 (5 mg/Kg; intraperitoneal injection) significantly reduced the size of the lesion at 28 days in histological examination [2].
In vivo activity data for CR8 is limited. As a potent CDK inhibitor, it is expected to have antitumor effects in animal models. It has been studied for its neuroprotective effects. However, specific in vivo study details are not well-documented. It is primarily used as a research tool to study the function of CDKs and CK1. |
| Enzyme Assay |
CR8 is evaluated in cell-free kinase assays using purified CDK and CK1 enzymes. The compound is incubated with the kinase, ATP, and a substrate, and the inhibition of kinase activity is measured. IC50 values are determined to quantify the potency of kinase inhibition. Its selectivity profile can be assessed by screening against a panel of kinases.

| Cell Assay |
Apoptosis analysis [1]
Cell Types: SH-SY5Y Cell line Tested Concentrations: 0.1, 1, 10, 100 μM Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Cell survival rate diminished in a dose-dependent manner. CR8 is assessed in cell-based assays using various cancer cell lines and neuronal cells. Cells are treated with CR8, and cell cycle progression, apoptosis, and cell proliferation are measured. Its neuroprotective effects are evaluated in models of neurodegeneration. The compound's ability to inhibit CDK and CK1 activity in a cellular context is confirmed by measuring the phosphorylation of downstream targets. |

Animal/Disease Models: Adult (10 to 12 weeks old) male SD (SD (Sprague-Dawley)) rats (310 to 330 g) [2]
Doses: ip Route of Administration: 5 mg/Kg Experimental Results: Results in a significant reduction in lesion size. CR8 is administered in animal models to evaluate its effects on tumor growth and neuroprotection. However, specific animal study protocols are not extensively documented. It is typically formulated for in vivo administration using DMSO or other suitable vehicles. Its efficacy in models of cancer or neurodegenerative diseases is of research interest. |
