The recognition of this research as a promising approach to treating resistant prostate cancer suggests a meaningful impact in the field.

Abstract in brief

  • The study identifies a selective CDK9 inhibitor, KB0742, which effectively reduces androgen receptor-driven transcription and tumor growth in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) models.
  • KB0742 was discovered through a microarray assay targeting AR variants, and it works by inhibiting CDK9, a key factor for oncogenic transcription involving AR, MYC, and others.
  • Oral administration of KB0742 in vivo shows significant tumor suppression, highlighting CDK9 inhibition as a promising approach to treat resistant prostate cancers dependent on androgen receptor activity.]
