The present invention pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds. More specifically the present invention pertains to certain H-APPAMP compounds (referred to herein as 'H-APPAMP compounds') that, inter alia, inhibit cyclin-dependent protein kinases (CDKs), especially CDK12 and/or CDK13, and are selective, for example, for CDK12 and/or CDK13 as compared to CDK7. In addition to selectively inhibiting CDK12 and/or CDK13, the compounds also act as selective Cyclin K degraders thereby removing the key signaling mechanism required for CDK12 and/or CDK13 activation; this confers additional cellular potency and selectivity. The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to inhibit CDK, especially CDK12 and/or CDK13; and to treat disorders including: disorders that are associated with CDK, especially CDK12 and/or CDK13; disorders that result from an inappropriate activity of a CDK, especially CDK12 and/or CDK13; disorders that are associated with CDK mutation, especially CDK12 and/or CDK13 mutation; disorders that are associated with CDK overexpression, especially CDK12 and/or CDK13 overexpression; disorders that are associated with upstream pathway activation of CDK, especially CDK12 and/or CDK13; disorders that are ameliorated by the inhibition of CDK, especially CDK12 and/or CDK13; proliferative disorders; cancer; viral infections (including HIV); neurodegenerative disorders (including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease); ischaemia; renal diseases; cardiovascular disorders (including atherosclerosis); autoimmune disorders (including rheumatoid arthritis); and disorders caused by dysfunction of translation in cells (including muscular dystrophy). Optionally, the treatment further comprises treatment (e.g., simultaneous or sequential treatment) with a further active agent which is, e.g., an aromatase inhibitor, an anti estrogen, an anti-androgen, a Her2 blocker, a cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agent, an agent stimulating the immune system, a checkpoint inhibitor, a DNA repair inhibitor, etc.
