Molecular dynamics simulations, Hirshfeld surface analysis, dynamic cross-correlation matrix (DCCM), and MM/GBSA calculations elucidated the molecular mechanism underlying MY-14's interaction with PKMYT1. MY-14 emerged as a promising compound for the development of a novel PKMYT1 inhibitor.

Further investigations revealed that compound A30 exerted a highly synergistic effect with gemcitabine in CCNE1-amplified cancer models...Pharmacokinetic profiling indicated that compound A30 exhibits liver microsomal stability, favorable plasma stability, minimal CYPs inhibition, and acceptable overall pharmacokinetic properties. Together, these findings establish that compound A30 represents a promising lead for the further development of selective PKMYT1 inhibitors.

By integrating CRISPR-Cas9 with functional assays and transcriptomics, our study established a framework for decoding resistance mechanisms and highlights potential therapeutic strategies to enhance RX-3117 efficacy in NSCLC. We demonstrated for the first time that aberrant DNA repair and cell cycle dysregulation led resistance, identifying PKMYT1 as a promising target.

Mechanistically, low doses of RP-6306 with RP-3500 increase CDK1 activation more so than monotherapy, triggering rapid and robust induction of premature mitosis, DNA damage, and apoptosis in a CCNE1-dependent manner. These findings suggest that targeting CDK1 activity by combining RP-6306 with RP-3500 is an effective therapeutic approach to treat CCNE1-amplifed OVCAs and EMCAs.

Additionally, PKHD-5 has demonstrated significant antitumor proliferation effects without significant toxicity. In summary, the results suggest that PKHD-5 is a promising candidate for further preclinical studies of hepatocellular carcinoma therapy.

Provided herein are novel indazole compounds as PKMYT1 kinase inhibitors, pharmaceutical compositions, use of such compounds in treating cancer, and processes for preparing such compounds.

Compound 7 demonstrated strong PKMYT1-specific inhibition, a subsequent decrease in CDK1 phosphorylation, and antitumor efficacy in vitro, as well as enhanced metabolic stability, favorable pharmacokinetic and bioavailability properties, and potent antitumor in vivo efficacy. Our findings indicate that compound 7 is a promising PKMYT1 inhibitor for the treatment of advanced cancers with cell cycle defects.
