CDK
SEL120-34A is a selective ATP-competitive CDK8 inhibitor with IC50s of 4.4 nM and 10.4 nM for CDK8/CycC and CDK19/CycC, respectively. SEL120-34A has no clear inhibitory impact on CDK1, 2, 4, 6, 5, and 7, and only mildly inhibits CDK9 (IC50, 1070 nM). SEL120-34A is active against a panel of AML cell lines (GI50<1 μM) such as SKNO-1, KG-1, HEL-60, MOLM-16, MV-4-11, OciAML-2, MOLM-6 and OciAML -3 cells, similar with the effective inhibitory range of STAT1 S727 and STAT5 S726 [1]. |

SEL120-34A is a selective ATP-competitive CDK8 inhibitor with IC50s of 4.4 nM and 10.4 nM for CDK8/CycC and CDK19/CycC, respectively. SEL120-34A has no clear inhibitory impact on CDK1, 2, 4, 6, 5, and 7, and only mildly inhibits CDK9 (IC50, 1070 nM). SEL120-34A is active against a panel of AML cell lines (GI50<1 μM) such as SKNO-1, KG-1, HEL-60, MOLM-16, MV-4-11, OciAML-2, MOLM-6 and OciAML -3 cells, similar with the effective inhibitory range of STAT1 S727 and STAT5 S726 [1].
SEL120-34A inhibits STAT1 S727 and STAT5 S726 phosphorylation in a dose-dependent manner in HCT-116 and SET-2 cells upon IFNγ or IFNα stimulation.[1] It suppresses serum-induced expression of immediate early response genes (EGR1 and FOS) in HCT-116 cells.[1] In KG-1 AML cells, SEL120-34A inhibits STAT5 S726 phosphorylation within 1 hour, with sustained inhibition observed after washout, indicating long cellular residence time.[1] Prolonged treatment (up to 6 days) induces apoptosis, evidenced by cleaved Caspase-3.[1] SEL120-34A shows differential growth inhibition in AML cell lines: sensitive lines (KG-1, MV4-11, etc.) have high STAT5 S726/STAT1 S727 phosphorylation; resistant lines (MOLM-13, etc.) are negative for these marks.[1] |
| ln Vivo |
SEL120-34A (30, 60 mg/kg, orally) suppresses tumor growth in mice harboring MV4-11 cancer cells. It also inhibits the growth of tumors produced from KG-1 when administered at a dose of 30 mg/kg [1].
Oral administration of SEL120-34A inhibits tumor growth in KG-1 and MV4-11 AML xenograft models in SCID mice, without significant body weight loss.[1] In Colo-205 CRC xenografts, it reduces phosphorylation of STAT1 S727 and STAT5 S726 in a dose-dependent manner.[1] Transcriptomic analysis of treated tumors shows downregulation of IFN-responsive and STAT-regulated genes (e.g., IRF9, ISG15, STAT1).[1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
Kinase activity of CDK8/CycC and CDK19/CycC was measured using a radiometric protein kinase assay. Dose-response curves were constructed to determine IC₅₀ values at Km ATP concentrations.[1]
A Eu kinase binding assay was used to measure binding affinity (Kd) of SEL120-34A to CDK8.[1] Kinase capture experiments using ATP-desthiobiotin probes in KG-1 cell lysates confirmed dose-dependent competitive binding to CDK8.[1] |
| Cell Assay |
Cells were treated with SEL120-34A or vehicle, followed by IFN or serum stimulation. Phosphorylation levels of STAT1 S727, STAT5 S726, and other targets were assessed by Western blot.[1]
For gene expression studies, cells were synchronized in low serum, pretreated with compound, stimulated, and RNA was extracted for qRT-PCR.[1] Extended cytotoxicity assays were performed in AML cell lines using AlamarBlue, with GI₅₀ values calculated from dose-response curves over 10 days.[1] |
| Animal Protocol |
SCID mice were inoculated subcutaneously with AML (KG-1, MV4-11) or CRC (Colo-205) cells. Once tumors reached ~100–250 mm³, mice were randomized and treated orally with SEL120-34A dissolved in water, administered once daily or BID.[1]
Tumor volumes and body weights were monitored. At endpoints, tumors and blood were collected for pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic analyses.[1] A 14-day toxicology study in CD-1 mice involved daily oral dosing, with hematological parameters assessed at study end.[1] |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
After oral administration of 60 mg/kg of SEL120-34A to mice, the plasma concentration at 16 hours was >700 ng/mL. [1]
This compound showed good bioavailability and metabolic stability, and can be used for in vivo efficacy studies. [1] |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
In a 14-day subchronic toxicity study in CD-1 mice, SEL120-34A did not cause significant changes in hematological parameters or body weight. [1]

| Additional Infomation |
RVU120, a CDK8/19 inhibitor, is an orally bioavailable cyclin-dependent kinase 8 and 19 (CDK8/19) inhibitor with potential antitumor and chemoprotective activities. After oral administration, RVU120 targets and inhibits CDK8/19 activity, thereby preventing the activation of CDK8/19-mediated oncogenic signaling pathways, blocking the selective transcription of various pro-tumorigenic genes, and inhibiting the proliferation of CDK8/19-overexpressing tumor cells. CDK8/19 are serine/threonine kinases involved in cell cycle regulation, overexpressed in certain cancer cell types, and play a crucial role in tumor cell proliferation. SEL120-34A is a tricyclic benzimidazole-based type I CDK8 inhibitor that binds to the ATP-binding pocket and forms a halogen bond with the hinge region. [1]
It selectively inhibits serine phosphorylation of STAT1/5 without affecting tyrosine phosphorylation or CDK9-mediated RNAPII phosphorylation. [1] Transcriptome analysis suggests that its effects are primarily focused on IFN-responsive genes and NUP98-HOXA9-regulated genes, suggesting a potential role in targeting leukemia stem cell-like cells. [1] It is considered a candidate drug for personalized treatment of STAT5 S726 hyperphosphorylated AML. [1] |
