Components of the cell cycle machinery, such as the cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), have long been pursued as anticancer targets. Historically, the development of CDK inhibitors has been challenging, but recent developments, particularly in regard to inhibitors for CDK4 and CDK6, have shown promise. This Review presents an overview of the field and discusses agents in clinical development.
