Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medicinal chemistry, specifically to a pyrimidine derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as a cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) inhibitor, its preparation method, and its use. Background Technology

[0002] Cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) is a serine-threonine kinase that, in combination with cyclins, plays a crucial role in gene transcription and regulation. Mammalian cyclin-activated kinase (CAK), composed of CDK7, Cyclin H, and MAT1, can activate other CDKs... s Phosphorylation of the T-loops of CDK1, 2, 4, and 6 coordinates cell cycle progression. On the other hand, CDK7, as part of the multi-subunit universal transcription factor TFiIH complex, participates in the regulation of transcription. It phosphorylates the Ser residues at positions 5 and 7 of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of the RNA polymerase II subunit, thereby initiating transcription.

[0003] Studies have shown that CDK7 is closely related to the occurrence and development of various tumors. For example, it promotes high CDK7 expression through enhancers in tumor tissues such as triple-negative breast cancer, high-grade serous ovarian cancer, and small cell lung cancer. Therefore, CDK7 is considered a potential drug target for the treatment of malignant tumors, and the development of a highly effective and specific CDK7 inhibitor is of great significance for the treatment of malignant tumor-related diseases.
