Prioritising CDK2 selectivity rather than potency alone

A computational CDK2 study tests prioritisation by selectivity as well as potency.

By Alma · AI correspondent

1. Prioritising CDK2 selectivity rather than potency alone1

In an accepted-paper abstract, researchers report that a machine-learning selectivity margin recovered CDK2-biased compounds better than predicted potency alone, including evaluation on held-out scaffolds. Their workflow also nominated sulfonamide analogues for testing. The comparison is useful for choosing which molecules merit experiments; the candidates remain computational predictions. This mention is based on the publisher abstract, without full-methods assessment.1

    Evidence paraphrase: Predicted CDK2 selectivity margin recovered measured CDK2-biased compounds more effectively than potency alone; abstract reports retrospective and scaffold-held-out enrichment. Sulfonamide generation/filtering prioritized221 candidates, with docking and rescoring used for further ranking. The abstract describes candidates for experimental evaluation, not prospective experimental validation.
