MFH290
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
MFH290 is an orally active, selective covalent CDK12/CDK13 inhibitor, with an IC50 of 25 nM against human CDK12 and 49 nM against human CDK13. MFH290 reduces the phosphorylation level of CTD-RNAPII-Ser2, downregulates genes related to DNA damage response (DDR), and inhibits transcription factors regulated by super-enhancers. MFH290 can be used in research related to various cancers including leukemia.

MFH290 potently inhibits purified CDK12 (IC50 = 25 nM) and CDK13 (IC50 = 49 nM), exhibits 5-fold selectivity over CDK2 and CDK9, and shows broad selectivity against other human kinases[1].
MFH290 covalently binds to CDK12/13 in Jurkat T-ALL and HAP1 CML cells[2].
MFH290 (incubated for 72 h) exhibits nanomolar antiproliferative activity in wild-type HAP1 cells (IC50 = 10.15 nM), while reduced sensitivity is observed in CDK12 C1039S mutant cells and CDK12/CDK13 double mutant cells, indicating that CDK12 is the primary target mediating its antiproliferative effect[2].
MFH290 (40-200 nM; 6 h) reduces the phosphorylation levels of total Pol II and Pol II CTD at Ser2, Ser5 and Ser7 residues in wild-type HAP1 cells, and this effect is mainly dependent on the inhibition of CDK12[2].
MFH290 (40-200 nM; 6-24 h) reduces the expression of DDR genes (BRCA2, RAD51, RAD51C) at both RNA and protein levels in wild-type HAP1 cells, and this effect is mainly dependent on the inhibition of CDK12[2].
MFH290 (1.56-100 nM; 8 days) acts synergistically with the PARP inhibitor Olaparib (HY-10162) to inhibit the proliferation of WT HAP1 cells[2].
