Abstract
Hyperactivation of the key regulators of the cell cycle, the cyclin dependent kinases(CDKs), occurs in many human neoplasms. Therefore, modulation of these proteins mayhave an important use for cancer therapy and prevention.Flavopiridol and UCN-01 are the first compounds to enter clinical trials. Although resultshaven’t been as good as expected so far, combination with classic chemoterapic agentsand the development of more selective agents will probably produce better results.Key words: cyclin, kinase, therapy, cancer.
