| Additional Infomation |
1. Mechanism of action: - Enitociclib inhibits CDK9/CycT1 (P-TEFb), blocking RNAPII Ser2 phosphorylation and transcriptional elongation. This selectively downregulates short-half-life oncoproteins (MYC, MCL1, BCL2) that are crucial for cancer survival without affecting housekeeping genes [3][5][6]
2. Treatment focus: - It has been developed for the treatment of hematologic malignancies (acute myeloid leukemia, MYC⁺ lymphoma, multiple myeloma) and solid tumors (colorectal cancer, lung cancer); priority is given to treating MYC-driven or drug-resistant (venetoclax-resistant) cancers [2][3][5][6] 3. Formulation principle: - Due to low oral bioavailability, intravenous formulation (10% DMSO/40% PEG400/50% saline) is selected. The weekly dosing regimen was supported by PK/PD data (drug concentrations consistently above IC₅₀ with very low cumulative toxicity) [3] 4. Patents and early development: - WO2014076091A1: disclosed the chemical structure of Enitociclib (pyrazolopyrimidine derivative) and its preliminary CDK9 inhibitory activity [1] - Cancer Res 2017/AACR 2017: confirmed its efficacy in AML xenograft models and its inhibitory effect on P-TEFb [2][4] 5. Clinical significance: - Efficacy in patient-derived MM cell and bone metastasis models supports its potential for treating relapsed/refractory MM [6] - Achieved complete remission in MYC⁺ lymphoma models, meeting the unmet need for MYC targeted therapy [5] |
