1. Mechanism of action: - Enitociclib inhibits CDK9/CycT1 (P-TEFb), blocking RNAPII Ser2 phosphorylation and transcription elongation. This selectively downregulates short-half-life oncoproteins (MYC, MCL1, BCL2) critical for cancer survival, without affecting housekeeping genes [3][5][6]

2. Therapeutic focus: - Developed for hematological malignancies (AML, MYC⁺ lymphoma, MM) and solid tumors (colorectal, lung cancer); prioritizes MYC-driven or therapy-resistant (venetoclax-resistant) cancers [2][3][5][6]

3. Formulation rationale: - IV formulation (10% DMSO/40% PEG400/50% saline) selected due to low oral bioavailability. Weekly dosing is supported by PK/PD data (sustained concentrations above IC₅₀ and minimal cumulative toxicity) [3]

4. Patent and early development: - WO2014076091A1: Discloses Enitociclib’s chemical structure (pyrazolopyrimidine derivative) and initial CDK9 inhibitory activity [1]
- Cancer Res 2017/AACR 2017: Confirms efficacy in AML xenografts and P-TEFb inhibition [2][4]

5. Clinical relevance: - Efficacy in patient-derived MM cells and bone metastasis models supports potential for treating relapsed/refractory MM [6]
- CR in MYC⁺ lymphoma models addresses unmet need for MYC-targeted therapies [5]
