Section 10: Drug & Pharmacology Data
ChEMBL Target
| Target ID | Name | Type |
|---|
| CHEMBL4680027 | Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A | SINGLE PROTEIN |
Note: No direct drug molecules targeting CDKN2A found in ChEMBL. CDKN2A functions as a tumor suppressor; therapeutic strategies typically involve restoring its function rather than inhibiting it.
PharmGKB Gene
| PharmGKB ID | Symbol | VIP Gene | CPIC Guideline |
|---|
| PA106 | CDKN2A | Yes (Very Important Pharmacogene) | No |
Clinical Relevance
CDKN2A is pharmacologically relevant as:
- Biomarker for cancer prognosis and treatment response
- Genetic testing target for familial melanoma and pancreatic cancer risk
- Tumor suppressor - loss of function is oncogenic; strategies focus on CDK4/6 inhibition as downstream therapeutic target
Related Therapeutic Strategies
Since CDKN2A inhibits CDK4/6, loss of CDKN2A makes tumors sensitive to CDK4/6 inhibitors:
- Palbociclib (IBRANCE)
- Ribociclib (KISQALI)
- Abemaciclib (VERZENIO)
