| Targets |
Fadraciclib (CYC065) is a second-generation, orally available ATP-competitive inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) and cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9). It targets the CDK2/cyclin E1 complex, which is critical for G1-S phase transition, and CDK9, which is involved in transcriptional regulation. The study does not provide specific IC₅₀ values for these targets [1].
Fadraciclib targets cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) and cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9). It acts as an ATP-competitive inhibitor, binding to the ATP-binding site of these kinases and preventing their activity. CDK2 is involved in cell cycle progression, while CDK9 is involved in transcriptional regulation. By inhibiting these kinases, Fadraciclib stops cells in the G1 phase. |

| ln Vitro |
Fadraciclib stops cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle and reduces cell development, notably in uterine serous carcinoma (USC) overexpressing cyclin E1 (CCNE1). USC cell lines expressing high CCNE1 mRNA and protein levels were significantly more sensitive to in vitro Fadraciclib treatment compared to low CCNE1 expressing cell lines (IC50: mean ± sd = 124.1 ± in CCNE1 overexpressing USC cell lines vs. 415 cell lines 57.8 nM) and ±117.5 nM respectively in CCNE1 low-expression proteins; P=0.0003). Importantly, modest dosages of Fadraciclib (i.e., 100 nM) cause cell cycle G1 phase arrest only in CCNE1-overexpressing USC cell lines (i.e., USC-ARK-2, USC-ARK-7) [1].
In primary uterine serous carcinoma (USC) cell lines, Fadraciclib demonstrates potent antiproliferative activity. CCNE1-amplified USC cell lines (USC-ARK-1, USC-ARK-2, USC-ARK-7) are significantly more sensitive to Fadraciclib compared with non-amplified lines, with mean IC₅₀ values of 124.1 ± 57.8 nM versus 415 ± 117.5 nM, respectively (P = 0.0003) [1]. Cell cycle analysis reveals that treatment with 100 nM Fadraciclib for 48 hours induces G1 phase arrest specifically in CCNE1-amplified USC cell lines (USC-ARK-2, USC-ARK-7), but not in non-amplified lines [1]. Apoptosis induction is observed at higher concentrations: treatment of USC-ARK-7 cells with 500 nM and 1000 nM Fadraciclib for 6 hours increases the percentage of Annexin V/PI-positive cells by 1.78 ± 0.3-fold and 2.25 ± 0.7-fold, respectively [1]. Knockdown of CCNE1 using siRNA in USC-ARK-2 cells results in a 9.29-fold increase in the IC₅₀ of Fadraciclib compared with control cells (P = 0.021), confirming target specificity. CCNE1 knockdown alone also inhibits cell growth by 49.5 ± 14.4% (P = 0.027), indicating dependency of USC cells on CCNE1 for proliferation [1]. Combination studies with the PIK3CA inhibitor Taselisib show synergistic effects. In USC-ARK-1 (CCNE1-amplified, PIK3CA-mutated) and USC-ARK-2 (CCNE1-amplified, PIK3CA-wild-type) cells, the combination of Fadraciclib and Taselisib significantly inhibits cell growth more effectively than either single agent. Combination index (CI) values calculated by the Chou-Talalay method indicate synergism (CI < 1) across multiple effect levels (Fa = 0.5 to 0.95) in both cell lines [1]. Western blot analysis shows that treatment with Fadraciclib (200 nM, 6 h) inhibits Rb phosphorylation, and the combination with Taselisib (10 nM) potently inhibits both pRb and pS6 (downstream effector of PI3K pathway) in USC-ARK-1 and USC-ARK-2 cells. Increased expression of CCNE1 is observed after Fadraciclib treatment [1]. Fadraciclib is a potent inhibitor of CDK2 and CDK9 with IC50 values of 5 nM and 26 nM, respectively. It acts as an ATP-competitive inhibitor. By inhibiting CDK2 and CDK9, it stops cells in the G1 phase. |
| ln Vivo |
USC-ARK-2-derived xenografts were treated with Fadraciclib (22.5 mg/kg) daily for three weeks in order to assess the therapeutic potential of the drug as a stand-alone treatment. Twice a week, the growth of the tumor and the weight of the mice were noted. When compared to mice treated with a vehicle, daily dose of Fadraciclib significantly slowed the growth of the tumor (beginning on day 9 of therapy, P=0.012). Throughout the whole course of the medication, no discernible weight reduction was noted [1].
In USC-ARK-2-derived xenografts in SCID mice, oral administration of Fadraciclib (22.5 mg/kg daily for 3 weeks) significantly inhibits tumor growth compared with vehicle control (P = 0.012 from day 9). No significant weight loss is observed during treatment [1]. In USC-ARK-1-derived xenografts (CCNE1-amplified, PIK3CA-mutated), the combination of Fadraciclib (22.5 mg/kg daily for 3 weeks) and Taselisib (10 mg/kg, 5 days/week for 3 weeks) demonstrates significantly greater tumor growth inhibition than either single agent. At day 21, mean tumor volumes are 1.04 ± 0.5 cm³ (CYC065 alone), 0.72 ± 0.29 cm³ (Taselisib alone), and 0.37 ± 0.11 cm³ (combination; P < 0.03). A slight but non-significant weight decrease is noted in the combination group after day 19 [1]. Fadraciclib has been shown to stop cells in the G1 phase in vivo. It is an orally available compound, suggesting good bioavailability. It is used in precision oncology research. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Fadraciclib is evaluated in cell-free kinase assays using purified CDK2 and CDK9 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 CDK2 and CDK9 inhibition.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cell viability assay: USC primary cell lines are plated in six-well plates and treated with scalar concentrations of Fadraciclib (ranging from 100 to 500 nM) for 72 hours. Cells are harvested, washed, stained with propidium iodide (5 μg/mL), and counted by flow cytometry. The percentage of viable cells is normalized to vehicle-treated controls, and IC₅₀ values are calculated using nonlinear regression in GraphPad Prism [1].
Cell cycle analysis: Cells are treated with 100 nM Fadraciclib for 48 hours, permeabilized with ice-cold 70% ethanol, fixed at 4°C for 30 minutes, treated with RNase (100 μg/mL), stained with propidium iodide (50 μg/mL), and analyzed by flow cytometry using FACSCalibur and FlowJo software [1]. Apoptosis assay: Cells are treated with Fadraciclib (500 or 1000 nM) for 6 hours, then stained with Annexin V/PI and analyzed by flow cytometry [1]. siRNA knockdown: USC-ARK-2 cells are transfected with CCNE1-specific siRNA (10 nM) or MOCK siRNA using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX. After 24 hours, cells are treated with scalar doses of Fadraciclib for 72 hours, then harvested for viability assays or RNA extraction [1]. Western blotting: Cells are treated with Fadraciclib (200 nM), Taselisib (10 nM), or their combination for 6 hours. Lysates are prepared in RIPA buffer with protease inhibitors, separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to membranes, and probed with antibodies against HER2/neu, pHER2/neu, Rb, pRb, CCNE1, S6, pS6, and GAPDH. Detection uses HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies and chemiluminescence [1]. Fadraciclib is assessed in cell-based assays using cancer cell lines. Cells are treated with Fadraciclib, and cell cycle progression is measured by assessing the percentage of cells in the G1 phase. The compound's ability to inhibit CDK2 and CDK9 activity in a cellular context is evaluated. |
| Animal Protocol |
For single-agent efficacy studies, 5-7 week old SCID mice are subcutaneously injected with USC-ARK-2 cells. One week after implantation, when tumors reach 0.125-0.150 cm³, mice are randomized into two groups (minimum n=5 per group). The treatment group receives Fadraciclib (22.5 mg/kg) daily by oral gavage for 3 weeks; the control group receives vehicle. Tumor size and body weight are recorded twice weekly. Tumor volume is calculated as V = length × (width)²/2 [1].
For combination studies, USC-ARK-1-derived xenografts are established similarly. Mice are divided into four groups: vehicle (0.5% methylcellulose-0.2% Tween-80), Fadraciclib alone (22.5 mg/kg daily for 3 weeks), Taselisib alone (10 mg/kg daily, 5 days/week for 3 weeks), and combination of both drugs. Treatments begin one week after implantation when tumors reach 0.125-0.150 cm³. Tumor volume and body weight are monitored twice weekly [1]. Fadraciclib is administered orally in animal models to evaluate its antitumor efficacy. It has been studied in models of cancers that overexpress cyclin E1. Efficacy is assessed by measuring tumor growth inhibition and cell cycle arrest. |

| Additional Infomation |
CYC-065 is currently undergoing clinical trial NCT03739554 (a study of CYC065 CDK inhibitors in combination with venetoc for the treatment of relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia). Fadracib is an orally bioavailable cyclin-dependent kinase 2, 5, and 9 (CDK2/5/9) inhibitor with potential antitumor and chemoprotective activity. After oral administration, fadracib selectively binds to and inhibits the activity of CDK2, 5, and 9, thereby inhibiting CDK2, 5, and 9-dependent cellular pathways, downregulating genes involved in pro-survival pathways, preventing activation of DNA double-strand break repair pathways, and inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. This can inhibit the proliferation of CDK2/5/9 overexpressing tumor cells. Furthermore, CYC065 can protect hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells (HSPCs), prevent myelosuppression, and maintain bone marrow function. CDKs are serine/threonine kinases involved in cell cycle regulation and may be overexpressed in certain cancer cell types; they play a crucial role in tumor cell proliferation, transcriptional regulation, and DNA damage repair. Fadraciclib (CYC065) is a second-generation oral ATP-competitive CDK2 and CDK9 inhibitor developed by Cyclacel Ltd. It is designed to target cancers with CCNE1 amplification, which occurs in approximately 48% of uterine serous carcinomas. This compound blocks G1-S phase transition by inhibiting CDK2 and induces apoptosis at higher concentrations by inhibiting CDK9 and downregulating Mcl-1. Preclinical studies have shown that Fadraciclib has significant antitumor activity against CCNE1-amplified USC cell lines and xenograft tumors. In addition, the combination of Fadraciclib and Taselisib targeting CCNE1 and PIK3CA showed synergistic antitumor effects in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that it may be a promising treatment strategy for relapsed, chemotherapy-resistant USC patients with CCNE1 amplification and PIK3CA mutations [1].
