Novel Ribociclib Derivative RB-1 Exhibits Anti-breast Cancer Actions by Regulating p53 and Cell Cycle Pathways

ABSTRACT: Breast cancer remains the most prevalent malignancy among women globally, with its incidence continuing to rise and ranking as the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in females. Ribociclib, a cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor, suppresses tumor cell proliferation by blocking the transition from the G1 to S phase. This study investigates the molecular mechanisms and therapeutic efficacy of RB-1 (7-cyclopentyl-N-ethyl-N-methyl-2-((3-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)amino)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxamide), a novel Ribociclib derivative, in inhibiting breast cancer progression. The effects of RB-1 on breast cancer cell viability were evaluated via MTT assay. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that RB-1 significantly inhibited cell proliferation, colony formation, and the proportion of EdU-positive cells in multiple breast cancer cell lines (e.g., MDA-MB-231 and SKBR3). The chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay revealed that RB-1 treatment markedly suppressed tumor angiogenesis, outperforming Ribociclib. Mechanistic studies indicated that RB-1 regulates the p53 signaling pathway and cell cycle-related targets (e.g., E2F targets, mitotic spindle assembly), specifically inhibiting CDK4/6-mediated cell cycle progression. Furthermore, machine learning analysis identified Hyaluronan-Mediated Motility Receptor (HMMR) as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for breast cancer, with its expression significantly correlating with tumor-infiltrating immune cells. This study highlights the anti-cancer potential of RB-1 and elucidates its molecular mechanisms, offering a promising therapeutic candidate and novel targets for breast cancer treatment.
