INX-315 is a potent and selective inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2). Biochemical IC₅₀ values (mean ± SEM, n ≥ 3) determined by Nanosyn assay are: CDK2/cyclin E1 0.6 ± 0.2 nmol/L, CDK2/cyclin A2 2.5 ± 0.7 nmol/L, CDK1/cyclin B1 2.5 ± 0.7 nmol/L, CDK3/cyclin E1 4 ± 1 nmol/L, CDK5 1 ± 0.2 nmol/L, CDK5/p25 4 ± 1 nmol/L, CDK7 4640 ± 390 nmol/L, CDK9/cyclin T1 30 ± 8.3 nmol/L, CDK4/cyclin D1 1240 ± 40 nmol/L, CDK6/cyclin D3 1710 ± 480 nmol/L. It also inhibits CSF1R with an IC₅₀ of 2.29 nmol/L in follow-up assays. Intracellular target engagement IC₅₀ measured by NanoBRET: CDK2/cyclin E1 2.3 ± 0.07 nmol/L, CDK2/cyclin A1 71 ± 0.5 nmol/L, CDK1/cyclin B1 374 ± 63.5 nmol/L, CDK9/cyclin T1 2950 ± 314 nmol/L. The selectivity for CDK2 over CDK1 is approximately 50-fold in biochemical assays and 163-fold in NanoBRET assays [1].

| ln Vitro |
INX-315 potently inhibits proliferation of CCNE1-amplified cancer cell lines with a mean IC₅₀ of 36 nmol/L (range 10–64 nmol/L) in ovarian and gastric cancer cell lines (OVCAR3, COV318, Kuramochi, MKN1, etc.), whereas non-amplified lines are much less sensitive (mean IC₅₀ 1435 nmol/L). In CDK4/6i-resistant breast cancer cells (MCF7 and T47D resistant to abemaciclib or abemaciclib/fulvestrant), INX-315 shows enhanced sensitivity (IC₅₀ values significantly lower than in parental cells). In contrast, the normal fibroblast line Hs68 is insensitive to INX-315 (IC₅₀ > 1 μmol/L) [1].
Cell cycle analysis in OVCAR3 and MKN1 cells reveals a potent G₁ arrest after 24 h treatment with 30–100 nmol/L INX-315; at higher concentrations (≥300 nmol/L) a combined G₁/G₂ arrest appears. The G₁ arrest is accompanied by reduced phosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein (Rb) at Ser807/811 and Thr821, decreased levels of CDK2 substrates such as CDC6 and nucleolin, and downregulation of the E2F target cyclin A2, as shown by Western blot [1]. INX-315 induces therapy-induced senescence (TIS) in CCNE1-amplified cells. After 7-day treatment (100–1000 nmol/L), OVCAR3 and MKN1 cells show increased senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity, enlarged nuclear size, and upregulation of senescence gene signatures (RNA-seq). In CDK4/6i-resistant breast cancer cells, addition of INX-315 reinstates a senescence phenotype similar to that induced by CDK4/6i in parental cells, including chromatin remodeling and activation of AP-1 target genes [1]. Combination of INX-315 with CDK4/6 inhibitors (abemaciclib, palbociclib, ribociclib) in resistant cells results in synergistic growth inhibition and deeper suppression of E2F target genes compared to monotherapy [1]. Long-term clonogenic assays show that combined CDK4/6i plus INX-315 prevents the emergence of resistance to CDK4/6 inhibition over 10 weeks, whereas CDK4/6i alone leads to resistant outgrowth [1]. |
| ln Vivo |
In CCNE1-amplified tumor models, oral administration of INX-315 induces dose-dependent tumor growth inhibition. In gastric adenocarcinoma PDX GA0103 (CCNE1 ~10 copies), INX-315 at 25, 50, or 100 mg/kg twice daily (BID) for 56 days significantly inhibits tumor growth, with 100 mg/kg BID causing regression. In another gastric PDX GA0114 (CCNE1 ~3 copies), 100 mg/kg BID for 5 weeks inhibits growth (P < 0.0001). In ovarian carcinoma PDX OV5398 (CCNE1 ~9 copies), 100 mg/kg BID for 8 weeks inhibits growth (P < 0.0001). In OVCAR3 CDX, 100 mg/kg BID similarly inhibits growth. No significant body weight loss (>5%) or signs of toxicity are observed [1].
In a transgenic MMTV-rtTA/tetO-HER2 breast cancer model, mice with acquired resistance to abemaciclib were treated with vehicle, continued abemaciclib, INX-315 (50 mg/kg BID), or the combination. Combination significantly slowed tumor growth over 5 weeks, whereas monotherapies had modest effects. Analysis of tumors showed deeper suppression of E2F target genes and reinstatement of senescence markers with combination [1]. In a CDK4/6i-resistant breast cancer PDX (ST4316B), combination of ribociclib (50 mg/kg QD) and INX-315 (50 mg/kg BID) significantly inhibited tumor growth compared to either monotherapy, with good tolerability [1]. Pharmacodynamic analysis in OVCAR3 and OV5398 tumors shows sustained reduction of pRb and cyclin A2 levels up to 16 h after final dose, confirming target engagement in vivo [1]. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Biochemical kinase assays were performed using the Nanosyn Caliper Assay Platform with microfluidic detection technology. Compounds were tested in 12-point dose-response format in singlicate at the Km for ATP, with a phosphoacceptor substrate peptide concentration of 1 μmol/L. Staurosporine was used as reference compound. IC₅₀ values were determined for various CDK/cyclin complexes. For selectivity profiling, INX-315 was tested at 100 nmol/L in the LanthaScreen Eu Kinase Binding Assay and Z'-Lyte Kinase Assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Kinases showing ≥80% inhibition were retested in 10-point dose-response curves (1 μmol/L to 49.5 pmol/L) to determine IC₅₀ values [1].
Microsomal stability assay: INX-315 (1 μmol/L) was incubated with liver microsomes from human, rat, mouse, and dog in the presence of NADPH at 37°C. Aliquots were taken at 0, 10, 20, 30, and 60 min, and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Percent remaining was calculated, and half-life and clearance were determined using GraphPad software [1]. |
| Cell Assay |
Cells seeded in 96-well plates (1,000–5,000 cells/well) were treated with serial dilutions of INX-315 for 6 days (or 2 doubling times for some lines). Viability was measured using CellTiter-Glo (Promega) according to manufacturer's instructions. Luminescence was read on a plate reader, and IC₅₀ values were calculated [1].
Cell cycle analysis: Cells treated with INX-315 for 24 h were fixed with 70% ethanol, stained with propidium iodide, and analyzed by flow cytometry. Data were processed using FlowJo software [1]. Western blotting: Cell or tumor lysates were prepared in RIPA or Cell Lysis Buffer with protease/phosphatase inhibitors. Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose or PVDF membranes, and probed with antibodies against pRb, Rb, cyclin A2, p-CDC6, nucleolin, GAPDH, etc. Detection used HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies and chemiluminescence [1]. Senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining: Cells were fixed and stained using a β-galactosidase staining kit. Images were acquired, and integrated signal per cell was quantified. Nuclei were stained with DAPI and cytoskeleton with phalloidin to assess nuclear and cell size [1]. RNA-seq and ATAC-seq: RNA was extracted using RNeasy kits, libraries prepared with TruSeq Stranded mRNA, and sequenced on Illumina NextSeq 500. ATAC-seq was performed on 50,000 nuclei using Omni-ATAC protocol with Illumina Tagment DNA Enzyme, sequenced on NextSeq 500. Data were analyzed with standard pipelines [1]. |
| Animal Protocol |
For PDX studies, tumor fragments were implanted subcutaneously into immunocompromised mice (NOD/SCID for OV5398; BALB/c nude for GA0103 and GA0114; athymic nude for OVCAR3 and ST4316B). When tumors reached ~150–300 mm³, mice were randomized to treatment groups (n = 8–10 per group). INX-315 was formulated weekly in 100% PEG400 and administered by oral gavage at doses of 25–100 mg/kg BID or 100 mg/kg QD. Abemaciclib was prepared as previously described and given at 50–75 mg/kg; ribociclib was prepared in 0.5% methylcellulose and given at 50 mg/kg QD. Tumor volume was measured twice weekly with calipers, and body weight was monitored. Animals were euthanized at experimental endpoints or when tumor burden exceeded limits [1].
For the transgenic MMTV-rtTA/tetO-HER2 model, tumor formation was induced, and mice with established tumors were treated continuously with abemaciclib (75 mg/kg) until acquired resistance (tumor regrowth). Resistant mice were then randomized to vehicle, continued abemaciclib (50 mg/kg), INX-315 (50 mg/kg BID), or combination. Treatments continued for up to 5 weeks with tumor monitoring [1]. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
INX-315 exhibited high metabolic stability in liver microsomes. After 60 minutes of incubation, the parent compound was recovered in the following ways: 94% in humans, 100% in rats, 100% in mice, and 100% in dogs (data from Supplementary Figure S1B; specific values are not provided in the text, but this indicates high stability). Half-life and intrinsic clearance were calculated (data not shown) [1].
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
In all in vivo efficacy studies, INX-315 was well tolerated. During treatment, the weight loss in all mice did not exceed 5%. No adverse clinical signs (changes in body condition, respiratory rate, hair condition, posture, or behavior) were observed at doses up to 100 mg/kg twice daily for 8 weeks. No additional toxicities other than those observed when used in combination with CDK4/6 inhibitors were observed when used in combination with CDK4/6 inhibitors alone [1].

| Additional Infomation |
INX-315 is a novel, highly effective and selective CDK2 inhibitor developed by optimizing the structure-activity relationship of the CDK4/6 inhibitor trilaciclib. It is designed to target cancers with high CDK2 activity, such as CCNE1-amplified tumors (e.g., ovarian cancer, gastric cancer) and breast cancers that have developed resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors. Preclinical data show that INX-315 can induce cell cycle arrest and treatment-induced senescence, thereby achieving durable tumor control in xenograft and transgenic models. It has a synergistic effect with CDK4/6 inhibitors, which can overcome resistance and delay its onset. INX-315 is currently being evaluated in a phase I clinical trial in patients with advanced solid tumors (NCT05735080) [1]. The CDK2 inhibitor INX-315 is a small molecule cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) inhibitor with high oral bioavailability and potential antitumor activity. After oral administration, the CDK2 inhibitor INX-315 selectively targets, binds to, and inhibits CDK2 activity. This may lead to cell cycle arrest, induction of apoptosis, and inhibition of tumor cell proliferation. CDKs are a class of serine/threonine kinases and are important regulators of cell cycle progression and cell proliferation, frequently overexpressed in tumor cells.
