Discovery of a Dihydroisoquinolinone Derivative (NVP-CGM097): A Highly Potent and Selective MDM2 Inhibitor Undergoing Phase 1 Clinical Trials in p53wt Tumors
Abstract
As a result of our efforts to discover novel p53:MDM2 protein-protein interaction inhibitors useful for treating cancer, the potent and selective MDM2 inhibitor NVP-CGM097 (1) with an excellent in vivo profile was selected as a clinical candidate and is currently in phase 1 clinical development. This article provides an overview of the discovery of this new clinical p53:MDM2 inhibitor. The following aspects are addressed: mechanism of action, scientific rationale, binding mode, medicinal chemistry, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, and in vivo pharmacology/toxicology in preclinical species.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
