TAK-931是一种高效的CDC7抑制剂，通过抑制CDC7来抑制DNA复制，具有抗肿瘤功效，体内药效研究通过合乐HL8进行

Replication stress (RS) is a cancer hallmark; chemotherapeutic drugs targeting RS are widely used as treatments for various cancers. To develop next-generation RS-inducing anticancer drugs, cell division cycle 7 (CDC7) has attracted attention as a target. Researchers have developed an oral CDC7-selective inhibitor, TAK-931, as a candidate clinical anticancer drug.

TAK-931 demonstrated marked, dose-dependent antitumor activity, without severe body weight loss.

Antitumor efficacy studies for TAK-931 were carried out in two pancreatic PDX models, PHTX-249Pa and PHTXM-97Pa, at Medicilon.
