CDK – Cyclin Dependent Kinases
Rb - Retinoblatoma
Cyclin-dependent Kinases and cyclins
CDK is an inactive catalytic subunit of a serine/threonine kinase
Cyclins are regulatory subunits
Cyclin and CDK forms complex that regulates cell cycle

Cell proliferation is controlled by Cell cycle
Cancer cells have high cell proliferation
Therefore, by inhibiting CDK complex activity we can arrest cell proliferation.
Cell cycle clock and Cyclin Dependent Kinase
Check points monitors the cell cycle process
CDK is depended on Cyclin and forms cyclin-CDK complex
CDK level is always stable
Respective Cyclins are produced and degraded ones the next step arrives
G1 is a decision making point
Thus CDK4 and CDK6 are targets for anticancer drugs.

CDK4/6 forms complex with cyclin D
CDK4/6 complex phosphorylates Retinoblastoma protein
Release of E2F and DP transcription factors.

CDK4/6 inhibitors
Inhibitors target the formation of CDK4/6 Complex
Prevents Rb phosphorylation
Induces G1 cell cycle arrest
Most drugs under clinical trails are kinase inhibitors
Palbociclib, abemaciclib, ribociclib advanced to Phase III trials
Rb phoporylation by CDK4/6 inhibition and induced G1 cell cycle arrest
FDA approved use of Palbociclib in february 2015 for metastatic breast cancer

ATP competitive CDK inhibitors
Substrate competitive protein kinase inhibitors
Cyclin-CDK binding is tight
Chimeric proteins that target protein-protein interactions (MM-D37K)
Peptidomimetic molecule that mimics endogenous CDK inhibitors
Current drugs and research
Conclusion
Cell proliferation is controlled by cell cycle
Cell cycle is regulated by cyclin – CDK complex.
By inhibiting the activity of cyclin dependent kinase, cell proliferation in cancer cells can be arrested.
Most CDK inhibitors under study are with modest toxicity and are oral therapy.
Targeted therapy by selective inhibition of CDK along with other therapies could soon be an ultimate treatment plan.
