Abemaciclib (previously known as LY2835219) is a CDK inhibitor selective for CDK4 and CDK6.[1] It is an investigational drug for various types of cancer developed by Eli Lilly. It was designated as a breakthrough therapy by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in October 2015.[2]

Clinical trials

Successful Phase I[3] and Phase II[4] trials against breast cancer were announced in May and December 2014 respectively.

As of early 2016 Abemaciclib is involved in 3 Phase III clinical trials:

Chemistry

Abemaciclib may be synthesized in a 4 step manner using a Suzuki coupling, followed by a Buchwald–Hartwig amination with the final step being a reductive amination using the Leuckart reaction.[10]
