3NUP, 3NUX - PubMed Abstract: 
Identification and structure-guided optimization of a series of 4-(pyrazol-4-yl)-pyrimidines as selective CDK4/6 inhibitors is reported herein. Several potency and selectivity determinants were established based on the X-ray crystallographic analysis of representative compounds bound to monomeric CDK6. Significant selectivity for CDK4/6 over CDK1 and CDK2 was demonstrated with several compounds in both enzymatic and cellular assays.
