Description

JNJ-26854165 (Serdemetan), a novel tryptamine derivative, was developed as an activator of p53, and its initially proposed mechanism of action involved preventing the association of HDM2 with the proteasome and thereby stabilizing HDM2 substrates such as p53. Consistent with this proposed mechanism, Serdemetan induced apoptosis in acute myeloid and lymphoid leukemia cell lines and in primary acute leukemia isolates. Serdemetan is currently being evaluated in Phase I clinical trials in patients with non-small cell lung cancer; prostate cancer; solid tumours.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of serdemetan was determined to be 350 mg once daily.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Serdemetan induced a dose-dependent inhibition of proliferation in both wild-type (wt) and mutant (mut) p53 cell lines, with IC50 values from 0.25 to 3 uM/L, in association with an S phase cell cycle arrest.
