AZD-5438

AZD5438 is a potent small molecule inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 1, 2 and 9 with half maximal inhibitory concentration IC50 of 16 nmol/L, 6 nmol/L and 20 nmol/L respectively. AZD5438 has also been found to potently inhibit the human cyclin E/CDK2 complex, the cyclin B1/CDK1 complex and the cyclin A/CDK2 complex with IC50 of 0.006 μM, 0.016 μM and 0.045 μM respectively. In previous studies, AZD5438 has exhibited significant anti-proliferative activity in a few human tumor cell lines with IC50 ranging from 0.2 μmol/L to 1.7 μmol/L, in which the phosphorylation of a few proteins, including CDK substrates pRb, nucleolin, protein phosphatase 1a and RNA polymerase II COOH-terminal domain, and cell cycling at G2-M, S and G1 phases were inhibited.

Deregulation of the cell cycle has long been recognized as an essential driver of tumorigenesis, and agents that selectively target key cell cycle components continue to hold promise as potential therapeutics. We have developed AZD5438, a 4-(1-isopropyl-2-methylimidazol-5-yl)-2-(4-methylsulphonylanilino) pyrimidine, as a potent inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) 1, 2, and 9 (IC(50), 16, 6, and 20 nmol/L, respectively). In vitro, AZD5438 showed significant antiproliferative activity in human tumor cell lines (IC(50) range, 0.2-1.7 micromol/L), causing inhibition of the phosphorylation of cdk substrates pRb, nucleolin, protein phosphatase 1a, and RNA polymerase II COOH-terminal domain and blocking cell cycling at G(2)-M, S, and G(1) phases. In vivo, when orally administered at either 50 mg/kg twice daily or 75 mg/kg once daily, AZD5438 inhibited human tumor xenograft growth (maximum percentage tumor growth inhibition, range, 38-153; P < 0.05). In vivo, AZD5438 reduced the proportion of actively cycling cells. Further pharmacodynamic analysis of AZD5438-treated SW620 xenografts showed that efficacious doses of AZD5438 (>40% tumor growth inhibition) maintained suppression of biomarkers, such as phospho-pRbSer(249)/Thr(252), for up to 16 hours following a single oral dose. A comparison of different schedules indicated that chronic daily oral dosing provided optimal cover to ensure antitumor efficacy. These data indicate that broad cdk inhibition may provide an effective method to impair the dysregulated cell cycle that drives tumorigenesis and AZD5438 has the pharmacologic profile that provides an ideal probe to test this premise.

AZD-5438 is a potent CDK1, CDK2, and CDK9 inhibitor, with IC50s of 16 nM, 6 nM, and 20 nM in cell-free assays, respectively. AZD-5438 shows less inhibition activity against GSK3β, CDK5 and CDK6 .
