The CDK inhibitor Roscovitine enhances the therapeutic efficacy of anti-PD-1 in non-small cell lung cancer. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
These findings demonstrate that Roscovitine potentiates anti-PD-1 therapy by simultaneously suppressing immunosuppressive cell populations and amplifying effector immune responses. The dual modulation of PD-L1 expression and immune cell dynamics provides a strong rationale for the clinical evaluation of Roscovitine in combination with immune checkpoint blockade in NSCLC and potentially other solid tumors.

Novel mtDNA methylation-associated prognostic signatures in colorectal cancer. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Sorafenib, Salubrinal, and Roscovitine were positively correlated with the risk score, whereas WO2009093972 was negatively correlated. Additionally, this study identified several target genes such as FBXO25 with TINAG, CCDC28A with EPHB2, and SH2D6 with FCN3, with subsequent validation achieved through qPCR and western blotting. In conclusion, this study identifies three prognostic genes, providing new insights into CRC pathogenesis and potential therapeutic strategies.

New pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives as potential CDK2 inhibitors and apoptosis-driven antiproliferative agents. (PubMed, Bioorg Med Chem)
Among the tested compounds, 7-(4-bromophenyl)-2-(methylthio)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3‑carbonitrile (13 g), 7-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(methylthio)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3‑carbonitrile (13j), 7-[1-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-2-(methylthio)pyrazolo[1,5-a] pyrimidine-3‑carbonitrile (21c), and 7-(6-bromo-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-2-(methylthio)pyrazolo[1,5-a] pyrimidine-3‑carbonitrile (26b) exhibited strong growth inhibition in HCT-116 cells, comparable to the reference drug roscovitine...Molecular docking studies supported these results, showing favorable interactions of compound 21c within the CDK2 active site. Overall, compound 21c emerges as a promising lead candidate for the development of selective CDK2 inhibitors exhibiting potent anti-cancer activity and low toxicity toward normal cells.

Construction of a human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-related gene risk model for predicting breast cancer prognosis. (PubMed, Oncol Lett)
AS601245, AP.24534 and roscovitine were the top three chemotherapeutic agents showing the highest sensitivity differences between the risk groups. The RT-qPCR results indicated that the expression of electron transfer flavoprotein subunit α, rap guanine nucleotide exchange factor-like 1, keratin 7, cluster of differentiation 24, proline rich 15-like, arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase type B, ELOVL fatty acid elongase 2 and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 9 was consistent with the results of bioinformatic analysis. In conclusion, the HER2-related risk model and nomogram developed in the present study demonstrated high accuracy in predicting patient survival.

Design, synthesis and molecular docking of Pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine derivatives as potential CDK2 pathway inhibitors in colorectal cancer cells. (PubMed, Bioorg Chem)
However, they displayed a dose-dependent inhibition of CDK2 kinase activity in in-vitro ADP-Glo™ assay with IC50 values of 23.47 and 82.04 nM, respectively, compared to 0.51 and 700 nM for Dinaciclib and Roscovitine, respectively. Compound 6 downregulated CDK2 protein targets involved in DNA replication process; Polα, MCM7, ORC2, and ORC4 in CRC cell lines. Subjected to cell cycle analysis, HCT-116 and HT-29 treated with compound 6 demonstrated pre-G1 phase arrest with no similar observation in S phase.

A prognostic model for breast cancer survival based on PCD and m6A gene interactions. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
A key finding from drug sensitivity analysis was that the high-risk group exhibited significantly increased sensitivity to several drugs, including CCT018159, rapamycin, vinblastine, metformin, and roscovitine. Moreover, the expression levels of SESN3, CRIP1, DPP4 and PIK3CA were significantly upregulated in breast cancer samples compared to control samples. This study constructed a risk model based on seven prognostic genes, offering new potential strategies for breast cancer therapy.

Eco-friendly synthesis of novel pyrazole derivatives and their anticancer and CDK2 inhibitory activities. (PubMed, RSC Adv)
Compounds 4, 7, and 10 revealed significant CDK2 inhibitory activities with comparable potencies (IC50 = 0.75, 0.77 and 0.85 µM, respectively) to that of roscovitine (IC50 = 0.99 µM)...Further investigation on the mechanism demonstrated that 5 induced apoptosis, increased the proapoptotic protein Bax level, and reduced the antiapoptotic Bcl-2 level in the cells of MCF-7. Finally, the molecular docking study showed bioactive analogues that fit well in the CDK2 active site via various interactions.

Development and validation of a novel signature to predict the survival and affect the immune microenvironment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: epigenetic-related genes. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Drug sensitivity analysis identified four promising therapeutic compounds-PD-0325901, Bryostatin-1, ATRA, and Roscovitine-with potential clinical utility for ESCC treatment. The findings of this study offer clinically relevant insights for prognostic stratification and characterization of the immune microenvironment in ESCC patients. Moreover, these results provide novel perspectives that may contribute to the development of more effective prognostic tools and targeted therapeutic strategies for ESCC management.

Steroidal Alkaloids from Sarcococca saligna (Buxaceae): In Vitro and In Silico Evaluation of Their Cytotoxic Potential. (PubMed, ACS Omega)
Additionally, extended 200 ns molecular dynamics simulations further validated the complexes, revealing stable RMSD, reduced SASA, favorable hydrogen bonding, and strong MM-GBSA binding free energies (△G_bind = -42.6 kcal·mol-1 for sarcorine C vs -40.8 kcal·mol-1 for roscovitine). These findings establish S. saligna as a promising source of anticancer steroidal alkaloids and report, for the first time, the selective cytotoxic activity of sarcorine C and salonine C against colon cancer cells, supported by integrated experimental and computational evidence.

Progesterone induction of tau phosphorylation during the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells into neuroectodermal rosettes. (PubMed, J Alzheimers Dis Rep)
The neuroectodermal rosettes were then treated with and without LiCl (Cdk5 inhibitor) or roscovitine (GSK-3β inhibitor) and assayed for the expression of tau, P-tau, nestin (an early marker of neurogenesis), Cdk5 and GSK-3β. These preliminary results suggest that progesterone induces tau expression and its phosphorylation during the differentiation of neuroectodermal rosettes from hESC and suggest that tau and its phosphorylation is obligatory for neuronal precursor cell mitosis. The parallels between neural embryogenesis and neurodegeneration are discussed in the context of tau phosphorylation and the aberrant re-entry of neurons into the cell cycle in AD.
