CDK12是一种未来可期的癌症治疗靶标,在癌症发展中具有特定的背景作用,因此提供了一种低毒性的治疗方法。但是,目前对CDK12生物学功能的理解被CDK12同源的CDK13所阻碍。CDK13在激酶结构域中与CDK12具有92%的同源性,这导致实现CDK12和CDK13之间的选择性几乎是不可能的。尽管如此,候选药物分子强调了靶向CDK12的铰链区,DFG基序和C末端延伸区,这对于设计高活性和高选择性的CDK12抑制剂是的可行性。虽然开发高度特异性的CDK12抑制剂将会面临诸多困难,但是高度特异性的抑制剂能够更好的探索CDK12作为药物靶标的作用以及CDK12的生物学活性,同时可以为患者提供更优的选择。(根据公开信息整理)参考文献[1]Fatemeh Emadi, Theodosia Teo, Muhammed H.
