- W2955403780 abstract "Cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12) is a transcription-associated protein that plays a critical role in DNA damage response, splicing, pre-mRNA processing and is crucial for maintaining genomic stability. CDK12 associated with Cyclin K (CycK) regulates transcription elongation by phosphorylating RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) at Serine 2 (pS2) in the C-terminal domain (CTD). Overexpression of CDK12 in various tumor types suggests the possibility that CDK12 has oncogenic properties, similarly to other transcription-associated kinases. Considering its critical role in transcription and RNA processing, CDK12 is emerging as a potential therapeutic target for cancer. Multiple series of potent and selective CDK12 covalent inhibitors were identified by structure-guided and iterative medicinal chemistry approaches. Early lead compounds were optimized towards achieving high on target potency with good selectivity and desirable drug like properties including pharmacokinetic profile to achieve anti-tumour activity. Optimization of early lead compounds from two distinct chemical series resulted in very potent and highly selective CDK12 covalent inhibitors with desirable oral bioavailability. The covalent mode of action for these biochemically potent compounds has been confirmed by CDK12 target engagement assay in the cellular context. These selective inhibitors showed significant anti-proliferative activity in TNBC and other cancer cell lines including those harbouring ETS fusion. Importantly, cell killing is observed in cancer cells but not in normal cells (RWPE1) with short time (2h) and long-time (72h) exposure of these compounds. Anti-proliferative activity is well correlated with the inhibition of pS2 and down-regulation of a number of DNA damage response genes including BRCA1, RAD51, ATM and FANCI. Consistent with the inhibition of genes involved in DNA damage repair, a highly synergistic anti-proliferative activity was observed when treated in combination with cisplatin and PARP inhibitors. Based on the robust efficacy as a single agent in a TNBC mouse xenograft model with one of the optimized leads, the preclinical candidate exhibiting a greater degree of selectivity is being evaluated for efficacy and tolerability in relevant preclinical models.
