Cyclacel Limited

Cyclacel Limited (Dundee, UK) uses cell cycle control biology and state-of-the-art rational drug design chemistry to develop novel cancer therapeutics including small molecule CDK inhibitors (CYC200; CYC400), Penetratin®-small molecule complexes (CYC300), Pimetic™ small molecules mimicking natural cancer suppressing genes (CYC100), and intelligent delivery and targeting systems (Penetratin® and SGC™ technologies). Cyclacel’s Polgen division (Cambridge, UK) is in a world-first effort to validate, develop assays and discover drugs arising from 100 genomic targets regulating cancer mitosis. CYC202, the lead drug candidate is entering Phase I this autumn as the 3rd entry in a worldwide race involving several pharmaceutical majors.

Cyclacel’s clinical strategy for CYC202 includes several Phase I and Phase II trials in patients with solid tumors with the objective of defining the most attractive population to test the drug’s properties, as well as studying pharmacokinetics and optimal dosing. The commercialization strategy calls for positioning the company’s CDK inhibitors as modern, mechanism-based medicines with low toxicity and high target specificity to be used for treating cancer as a chronic disease. CDK inhibitors in general, and CYC202 in particular, have shown activity in animal models of non-cancerous hyperproliferative diseases such as autoimmune, cardiovascular, dermatological and inflammatory conditions.
