CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i), for example. Palbociclib (here referred as PAL), Ribociclib and Abemaciclib, have emerged as compelling drugs.
CDK4/6 inhibitors are a class of drugs that target particular enzymes, called CDK4 and CDK6. CDK stands for cyclin-dependent kinase, and it is an enzyme that is important for cell division. CDK4/6 inhibitors interrupt signals that stimulate the proliferation of malignant (cancerous) cells.
CDK4/6 inhibitors are drugs designed to interrupt the growth of cancer cells. CDK4/6 inhibitors are used in combination with hormone therapy to treat some hormone receptor-positive breast cancers. The CDK4/6 inhibitors FDA-approved for metastatic breast cancer treatment are:

CDK4/6 inhibitors are a class of drugs that target particular enzymes, called CDK4 and CDK6. Certain cancers, for example, hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, are more likely to have disturbances in CDK4/6.
Mechanisms of acquired resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors are beginning to emerge that, although unwelcome, might enable rational post-CDK4/6 inhibitor therapeutic strategies to be identified.
CDK4/6 inhibitors are oral drugs that are designed to disrupt the growth of cancer cells by blocking the CDK 4 and 6 proteins. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved three CDK4/6 inhibitors, abemaciclib (Verzenio), palbociclib (Ibrance), and ribociclib (Kisqali), and they are used in combination with hormone therapy.
