Abstract

SJ-172550 (1) was previously discovered in a biochemical high throughput screen for inhibitors of the interaction of MDMX and p53 and characterized as a reversible inhibitor (J. Biol. Chem. 2010; 285:10786). Further study of the biochemical mode of action of 1 has shown that it acts through a complicated mechanism in which the compound forms a covalent but reversible complex with MDMX and locks MDMX into a conformation that is unable to bind p53. The relative stability of this complex is influenced by many factors including the reducing potential of the media, the presence of aggregates, and other factors that influence the conformational stability of the protein. This complex mechanism of action hinders the further development of compound 1 as a selective MDMX inhibitor.

  • Achiral oxoapomorphine served as reactive species to form covalent bond at Cys77 of MDM2 with Michael acceptors, leading to inhibition of binding to p53.

    “Among these, the achiral oxoapomorphine, which was converted from chiral apomorphine under aerobic conditions, served as the reactive species to form a covalent bond at Cys77 of MDM2 with Michael acceptors, leading to the inhibitory effect against the binding to p53.”
  • The small molecule SJ-172550 was identified as an MDMX-p53-selective antagonist, but subsequent analyses showed that it forms covalent adducts with cysteine residues in the p53-binding domain of both MDM2 and MDMX.

    “The small molecule SJ-172550 was identified as an MDMX–p53-selective antagonist105 that exhibited additive cytotoxicity with nutlin 3a in MDMX-amplified retinoblastoma cells. However, subsequent analyses showed that SJ-172550 forms covalent adducts with cysteine residues in the p53-binding domain of both MDM2 and MDMX.”

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.
