Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) are attractive targets for drug discovery due to their wide range of cellular functions. CDK11 is an understudied CDK with roles in transcription and splicing, cell cycle regulation, neuronal function, and apoptosis. In this study, we describe a medicinal chemistry campaign to identify a CDK11 inhibitor. Employing a promising but nonselective CDK11-targeting scaffold (JWD-047), extensive structure-guided medicinal chemistry modifications led to the identification o ...[more]
