SMILES: CCC1=C2N=C(C=C(N2N=C1)NCC3=C[N+](=CC=C3)[O-])N4CCCC[C@H]4CCO

IUPAC name: 2-[(2S)-1-[3-ethyl-7-[(1-oxidopyridin-1-ium-3-yl)methylamino]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5-yl]piperidin-2-yl]ethanol

ChEBI definition: A pyrazolopyrimidine that is pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine substituted by ethyl, (2S)-2-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperidin-1-yl, and [(1-oxidopyridin-3-yl)methyl]amino groups at positions 3, 5, and 7, respectively. It is a potent pan-cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor that exhibits antineoplastic activity.

Pharmacological roles (ChEBI): EC 2.7.11.22 (cyclin-dependent kinase) inhibitor, antineoplastic agent, apoptosis inducer.

Patent coverage: 900 distinct patent families (2,257 SureChEMBL compound mentions), from 2 matched compound structure(s). One matched structure accounts for 2,248 (100%) of the total. Mentions count patents naming the compound (not distinct inventions), so promiscuous / reference molecules inflate the mention figure — families are the dedup metric.

Pharmacology

Pharmacogenomics

No PharmGKB pharmacogenomic data curated for this drug.

Molecules sharing ≥1 of this drug’s curated primary targets, merged from two biobtree sources and ranked by shared-target count, then clinical phase: ChEMBL clinical-stage candidates (development phase ≥2) and PubChem drug-class bioactivity (approved / known drugs acting on the target). Deduplicated by drug name; the drug’s own salt forms are excluded. Note: for a drug with few primary targets a shared-target match can reflect off-target / promiscuous binding rather than the same therapeutic mechanism — the phase ordering surfaces bona-fide therapeutics first.
