Exploiting the Therapeutic Vulnerability of IDH-mutant Gliomas with Zotiraciclib

Abstract

Highlights: Zotiraciclib (ZTR), a CDK9 inhibitor, hinders IDH-mutant glioma growth and . ZTR halts cell cycle, disrupts respiration, and induces oxidative stress in IDH-mutant cells.ZTR unexpectedly inhibits PIM kinases, impacting mitochondria and causing bioenergetic failure.These findings led to the clinical trial NCT05588141, evaluating ZTR for IDH-mutant gliomas.
