Popis Poor therapeutic outcomes and serious side effects, together with acquired resistance to multiple drugs, are common problems of current cancer therapies. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new cancer-targeted drugs, which has led (inter alia) to the development of molecules that can specifically inhibit cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). In addition to their cell cycle regulatory functions, CDKs, especially CDK7 and CDK9, play important roles in the regulation of RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription. Here, we report on progress in the preclinical development of CDK inhibitors and their anticancer activities. Special attention is paid to the action mechanisms of the pan-specific CDK inhibitors flavopiridol and roscovitine, which have already entered phase II clinical trials as treatments for various tumours.
