General information
Class/mechanism: Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4 and 6 inhibitor. Ribociclib inhibits DNA synthesis and cancer cell growth by blocking activity of the cyclin D-CDK4/6 complex which regulates cell cycle progression and cellular proliferation by phosphorylating the retinoblastoma protein (pRb). Inhibiting pRb phosphorylation has been observed to lead to cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase.[1][2][3]
