Palbociclib (PD-0332991) HCl

Palbociclib (PD-0332991) HCl is a highly selective inhibitor of CDK4/6 with IC50 of 11 nM/16 nM in cell-free assays, respectively. It shows no activity against CDK1/2/5, EGFR, FGFR, PDGFR, InsR, etc. Phase 3.

Features:Non-cytotoxic, and halts cancer cell growth & could be used in glioblastoma that has relapsed after temozolomide treatment (a chemotherapeutic used to treat many cancers).

Palbociclib (PD0332991) Isethionate

Palbociclib (PD0332991) Isethionate is a highly selective inhibitor of CDK4/6 with IC50 of 11 nM/16 nM in cell-free assays. It shows no activity against CDK1/2/5, EGFR, FGFR, PDGFR, InsR, etc. Phase 3.

Features:The 1st specific inhibitor for CDK4/6 to show promise in multiple cancers.

Dinaciclib (SCH727965)

Dinaciclib (SCH727965, PS-095760) is a novel and potent CDK inhibitor for CDK2, CDK5, CDK1 and CDK9 with IC50 of 1 nM, 1 nM, 3 nM and 4 nM in cell-free assays, respectively. It also blocks thymidine (dThd) DNA incorporation. Dinaciclib induces apoptosis through the activation of caspases 8 and 9. Phase 3.

Flavopiridol (L86-8275) HCl

Flavopiridol HCl (L86-8275, NSC 649890, Alvocidib, HMR-1275, DSP-2033) competes with ATP to inhibit CDKs including CDK1, CDK2, CDK4 and CDK6 with IC50 of ~ 40 nM in cell-free assays. It is 7.5-fold more selective for CDK1/2/4/6 than CDK7. Flavopiridol is initially found to inhibit EGFR and PKA. Flavopiridol HCl induces autophagy and ER stress. Flavopiridol HCl blocks HIV-1 replication. Phase 1/2.
