Reactivation of p53 by a specific MDM2 antagonist (MI-43) leads to p21-mediated cell cycle arrest and selective cell death in colon cancer
1 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
MDM2 oncoprotein binds directly to the p53 tumor suppressor and inhibits its function in cancers retaining wild-type p53. Blocking this interaction using small molecules is a promising approach to reactivate p53 function and is being pursued as a new anticancer strategy. The spiro-oxindole MI-43, a small-molecule inhibitor of the MDM2-p53 interaction, was designed and examined for its cellular mechanism of action...
