Abstract

Potent, specific, non-peptide small-molecule inhibitors of the MDM2-p53 interaction were successfully designed. The most potent inhibitor (MI-63) has a K(i) value of 3 nM binding to MDM2 and greater than 10,000-fold selectivity over Bcl-2/Bcl-xL proteins. MI-63 is highly effective in activation of p53 function and in inhibition of cell growth in Cancer cells with wild-type p53 status. MI-63 has excellent specificity over Cancer cells with deleted p53 and shows a minimal toxicity to normal cells.
