Abnormalities in the p16INK4a/ cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk)4, 6/ Retinoblastoma (Rb) pathway frequently occur in various human cancers. Thus, Cdk4/6 is an attractive target for cancer therapy. Here we report the biological characterization of a 2-aminothiazole-derived Cdk4/6 selective inhibitor, named Compound A in vitro and in vivo. Compound A potently inhibits Cdk4 and Cdk6 with high selectivity (more than 57-fold) against other Cdks and 45 serine/threonine and tyrosine kinases. Compound A inhibits Rb protein (pRb) phosphorylation at Ser780, inhibits E2F-dependent transcription, and induces cell-cycle arrest at G1 in the T98G human glioma cell line. Among 82 human cells derived from various tissues, cell lines derived from hematological cancers (leukemia/lymphoma) tended to be more sensitive to Compound A in cell proliferation assay. Rb-negative cells tended to be insensitive to Compound A, as we had expected. In a nude rat xenograft model, Compound A inhibited pRb phosphorylation and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation in Eol-1 xenograft tumor at plasma concentration of 510 nM. Interestingly Compound A only moderately inhibited those pharmacodynamic and cell cycle parameters of normal crypt cells in small intestine even at 5 times higher plasma concentration. In F344 rats, Compound A did not cause immunosuppression even at 17 times higher plasma conc. These results suggest that Cdk4/6 selective inhibitors only moderately affects on the cell cycle of normal proliferating tissues and has a safer profile than pan-Cdk inhibitor in vivo.
