Dalpiciclib (SHR-6390) is a highly selective, orally bioavailable CDK4/6 inhibitor with comparable potencies against CDK4 (IC50=12.4 nM) and CDK6 (IC50=9.9 nM). Dalpiciclib exerts potent antitumor activity in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by inhibiting phosphorylated tumor-suppressor retinoblastoma protein (Rb) and inducing G1 cell cycle arrest.
