The inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) is considered a promising strategy for cancer treatment due to their role in cell cycle regulation. However, CDK inhibitors with no selectivity among CDK families have not been approved. A CDK inhibitor with high selectivity for CDK4/6 exhibited significant treatment effects on breast cancer and has become a heavy bomb on the market. Subsequently, resistance gradually decreased the efficacy of selective CDK4/6 inhibitors in breast cancer treatment. In this review, we first introduce the development of selective CDK4/6 inhibitors and then explain the role of CDK2 activation in inducing resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors. Moreover, we focused on the development of CDK2/4/6 inhibitors and selective CDK2 inhibitors, which will aid in the discovery of novel CDK inhibitors targeting the cell cycle in the future.
由于细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶(CDKs)在细胞周期调控中的作用,抑制CDKs被认为是一种很有前景的癌症治疗策略。然而,对CDK家族无选择性的CDK抑制剂尚未获批。一种对CDK4/6具有高选择性的CDK抑制剂对乳腺癌显示出显著的治疗效果,并已成为市场上的重磅炸弹。随后,耐药性逐渐降低了选择性CDK4/6抑制剂在乳腺癌治疗中的疗效。在本综述中,我们首先介绍选择性CDK4/6抑制剂的发展,然后解释CDK2激活在诱导对CDK4/6抑制剂耐药中的作用。此外,我们重点关注CDK2/4/6抑制剂和选择性CDK2抑制剂的发展,这将有助于未来发现靶向细胞周期的新型CDK抑制剂。
