Description

Nutlins are cis-imidazoline analogs which inhibit the interaction between mdm2 and tumour suppressor p53. Inhibiting the interaction between mdm2 and p53 stabilizes p53, and is thought to selectively induce a growth-inhibiting state called senescence in cancer cells. These compounds are therefore thought to work best on tumors that contain normal or "wild-type" p53. Nutlin-3 does not induce the phosphorylation of p53 on key serine residues and reveals no difference in their sequence-specific DNA binding and ability to transactivate p53 target genes compared with phosphorylated p53 induced by the genotoxic drugs doxorubicin and etoposide, demonstrating that phosphorylation of p53 on key serines is dispensable for transcriptional activation and apoptosis.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Nude mice (10 animals per dose group) bearing subcutaneous human cancer xenografts (SJSA-1) received 200 mg/kg of an oral dose of Nutlin-3 (racemic) twice daily for 3 weeks.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Cancer cells with wild-type p53 (HCT116, RKO, and SJSA-1) and mutant p53 (MDA-MB-435 and SW480) were incubated with Nutlin-3 (0-30mkM) for 8 hours.
