Background:

CDK9-IN-2 is a special cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) inhibitor, extracted from patent WO/2012131594A1, compound CDKI(8), has an IC50 of 5 nM and 7 nM in H929 multiple myeloma(MM) cell line (72 hours) and A2058 skin cell line (72 hours), respectively.

CDK9-IN-2 (200 nM) reduces the expression of MEPCE indicating that MEPCE is a pharmacodynamic (PD) marker for any CDK9 inhibitor. The expression of MCL1 protein is reduced 2 hours after treatment and is further reduced after 16 hour exposure to CDK9-IN-2 (500 nM)[1].
