Abstract
The review discusses progress in discovering cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) inhibitors for cancer treatment and their potential for male contraception. It summarizes first-, second-, and third-generation CDK inhibitors and selective CDK2 inhibitors currently in clinical trials for cancer. Novel strategies to discover allosteric inhibitors, covalent inhibitors, and degraders are also discussed.
期刊介绍:
Future Medicinal Chemistry offers a forum for the rapid publication of original research and critical reviews of the latest milestones in the field. Strong emphasis is placed on ensuring that the journal stimulates awareness of issues that are anticipated to play an increasingly central role in influencing the future direction of pharmaceutical chemistry. Where relevant, contributions are also actively encouraged on areas as diverse as biotechnology, enzymology, green chemistry, genomics, immunology, materials science, neglected diseases and orphan drugs, pharmacogenomics, proteomics and toxicology.
