SERP Comments:

CX-4945 is a highly potent inhibitor of CLKs (IC₅₀ range ~ 4-90 nM, top target CLK2 with an IC₅₀ of 3.8 nM), and it therefore exerts a strong and profound effect on pre-mRNA splicing in a CK2-independent manner which should be considered when interpreting results obtained with this compound.

SERP Comments:

CX-4945 should be used with caution due to significant off-target activity; appropriate control experiments should be included. CX-4945 also inhibits DAPK3, FLT3, TBK1, CLK3, HIPK3, PIM1, and CDK1/cyclin B <56 nM; it was shown to be more selective for CK2 in functional cellular assays at 10 uM. CX-4945 exhibits a T1/2 10-14 h in rats and and F (%) 80.

Portal Comments

Grygier P. et al 2023 publication (DOI: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.2c01887) shows that Silmitasertib is a dual inhibitor for DYRK1A and GSK3β kinases. "CX-4945 strongly binds to DYRK1A and GSK3β kinases with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 1.8 and 37.8 nM while being a very potent inhibitor of both kinases with IC50 in the nanomolar range (160 and 190 nM). Inhibitory activity toward both kinases was not only limited to in vitro assays but also extended to cellular models."
