Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Ribociclib is a CDK inhibitor (cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor) and selectively inhibits CDK4 and CDK6. The CDK4 and CDK6 proteins are found both in healthy cells as well as in cancer cells. They control the multiplication and division of cells. In breast cancer, these proteins can become overactive and cause the cells to grow and divide uncontrollably. CDK4/6 inhibitors like ribociclib interrupt these proteins to slow or even stop the cancer cells from growing abnormally.
