Citation | Journal: J Med Chem / Year: 2026Title: Selective CDK2 Degradation via Noncanonical Recruitment. Authors: Yuanyuan Pei / Weiye Lin / Xinzhu Li / Yuhang Meng / Yuling Yin / Benxun Pan / Lixin Zhou / Linhui Cao / Yong Cang / Yi Jiang / Wenchao Lu / Zhanchao Meng / ![]() Abstract: Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) represents a critical therapeutic target in tumors resistant to CDK4/6 inhibitors or with amplification. However, selective inhibition of CDK2 remains challenging ...Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) represents a critical therapeutic target in tumors resistant to CDK4/6 inhibitors or with amplification. However, selective inhibition of CDK2 remains challenging owing to the high structural homology among CDKs. In this study, we identify and as cereblon (CRBN)-based molecular glue degraders that selectively degrade CDK2. Ternary complex structures reveal a noncanonical recruitment mode centered on CDK2 Glu57, which bypasses the canonical G-loop/β-hairpin and kinase glycine-rich loop interactions and is stabilized by an extended CRBN-CDK2 interface. Mechanistically, these degraders inhibit retinoblastoma (Rb) phosphorylation and induce G1/S-phase arrest, suppressing CDK2-dependent cell proliferation. further exhibits improved pharmacokinetics, measurable oral bioavailability, and target engagement, achieving intratumoral CDK2 degradation following intraperitoneal administration. Collectively, this study provides a structural blueprint for designing selective kinase degraders and establishes B12 as a chemically tractable probe for targeting CDK2-driven malignancies. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
