Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Restoring p53 function by antagonizing its interaction with the negative regulator MDM2 is an appealing nongenotoxic approach to treating tumors with wild-type p53. Mutational inactivation of p53 is rare in neuroblastoma tumors at diagnosis and occurs in only a subset of multidrug-resistant neuroblastomas. METHODS: The antiproliferative and cytotoxic effect of nutlin-3, a small-molecule MDM2...
