YJ1206 TFA
YJ1206 TFA is an orally active selective CDK12/CDK13 PROTAC degrader. YJ1206 TFA induces DNA damage and genomic instability, activates the AKT pathway, and triggers apoptosis. YJ1206 TFA reduces tumor cell viability, inhibits tumor growth, and attenuates tumor cell dissemination. YJ1206 TFA is applicable to research related to prostate cancer and high-grade serous tubo-ovarian cancer.

In Vitro
YJ1206 (0.2-100 nM; 4 h) TFA potently and dose-dependently degrades CDK12 and CDK13 proteins in VCaP prostate cancer cells[1].
YJ1206 (for 5 days) TFA inhibits the viability of VCaP prostate cancer cells, with an IC50 of 12.55 nM[1].
YJ1206 (500 nM; 8 h) TFA selectively degrades CDK12, CDK13 and CCNK in 22Rv1 prostate cancer cells, with extremely weak off-target protein degradation activity[1].
YJ1206 TFA induces gene length-dependent transcription elongation defects in VCaP prostate cancer cells, specifically manifesting as inhibition of long gene expression, alteration of DDR and AKT-mTOR pathway activities, and induction of DNA damage-related changes in gene expression[1].
YJ1206 (500 nM; 15 h) TFA activates the AKT pathway in VCaP and 22Rv1 prostate cancer cells by increasing the phosphorylation levels of AKTS473, PRAS40 and S6[1].
YJ1206(0.030-30 μM; 5 days) TFA potently reduces the viability of 6227_KO PRN;Cdk12KO and 6137_J PRN;Cdk12HET mouse ovarian cancer cells, with an IC50 value of approximately 212 nM; whereas it shows weaker efficacy against 15973_WT PRN cells, with an IC50 value of 3337 nM[2].

In Vivo
YJ1206 (100 mg/kg; p.o.; three times per week) TFA significantly inhibits tumor growth in the WA74 PDX prostate cancer mouse model, induces regression in 19% of tumors, and causes no significant body weight loss[1].
YJ1206 (100 mg/kg; p.o.; three times per week; for 4 consecutive weeks) TFA moderately inhibits tumor growth in castrated 22Rv1 xenograft mouse models[1].
YJ1206 (50-100 mg/kg; p.o.; three times per week) TFA significantly inhibits the growth of CDK12-deficient ovarian cancer subcutaneous allografts in C57BL/6J mice, with a more pronounced therapeutic effect observed at the 100 mg/kg dose[2].
Oral administration of YJ1206 TFA at a dose of 100 mg/kg three times per week significantly inhibits the growth of subcutaneous xenografts of human CDK12-knockout ovarian cancer in NSG mice[2].
