Tetrahydro-3H-pyrazolo[4,3-a]phenanthridine-based CDK inhibitor†
Abstract
Cyclin-dependent kinases have emerged as important targets for cancer therapy. HSD992, containing a novel scaffold based on the tetrahydro-3H-pyrazolo[4,3-a]phenanthridine core, inhibits CDK2/3 but not other CDKs and also potently inhibits several cancer cell lines.
