    block enzymes that regulate cell cycle progression

    CDK inhibitors, or Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, are a class of drugs that block the activity of enzymes known as cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). These enzymes play a crucial role in regulating the cell cycle, and their inhibition can halt the proliferation of cancer cells, making CDK inhibitors valuable in cancer treatment.
