Abstract

Design of small-molecule inhibitors (MDM2 inhibitors) to block the MDM2–p53 protein–protein interaction has been pursued as a new cancer therapeutic strategy. In recent years, potent, selective, and efficacious MDM2 inhibitors have been successfully obtained and seven such compounds have been advanced into early phase clinical trials for the treatment of human cancers. Here, we review the design, synthesis, properties, preclinical, and clinical studies of these clinical-stage MDM2 inhibitors.

  • Nine MDM2 inhibitors have entered clinical trials: RG7112, RG7388/RO6839921, MK-8242, AMG232, SAR405838, DS-3032b, HDM201, NVP-CGM097 and APG-115.

    “According to these three clear binding sites, a variety of structural types of MDM2 inhibitors have been reported, among which nine have entered clinical trials (RG7112, RG7388/RO6839921, MK-8242, AMG232, SAR405838, DS-3032b, HDM201, NVP-CGM097 and APG-115) (Fig. 3), with a variety of scaffold types [15–18].”

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.
