Section 10: Drug & Pharmacology Data ChEMBL Target

Target IDNameType
CHEMBL4680027Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2ASINGLE 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 IDSymbolVIP GeneCPIC Guideline
PA106CDKN2AYes (Very Important Pharmacogene)No
Clinical Relevance CDKN2A is pharmacologically relevant as:
  1. Biomarker for cancer prognosis and treatment response
  2. Genetic testing target for familial melanoma and pancreatic cancer risk
  3. 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)
