Popis: In response to cellular stress, the p53 tumor suppressor is activated to modulate cell cycle progression, DNA repair, and cell death. The activity of p53 is tightly regulated by MDM2, an E3 ubiquitin ligase that targets p53 for proteasomal degradation. Inhibition of the MDM2-p53 interaction in tumors carrying wild-type p53 can therefore reactivate p53 and elicit an anti-cancer effect. Small molecule inhibitors of the MDM2-p53 interaction remains a promising strategy for cancer therapy and a number of these compounds are in clinical development. An isoindolinone series, identified by the Northern Institute for Cancer Research (NICR), has been used as a starting point for the development of potent MDM2-p53 inhibitors. Structure based drug design was applied during lead optimisation to gain potency whilst also focusing on stabilizing the main metabolically labile position and reducing lipophilicity. This approach led to potent compounds with EC50 Citation Format: Lynsey Fazal, Maria Ahn, Luke Bevan, Ildiko Buck, Juan Castro, Gianni Chessari, Ben Cons, Keisha Hearn, Steven Howard, Chris Johnson, Judith Reeks, Emiliano Tamanini, Neil Thompson, Hugh Walton, Pamela Williams, Ruth H.
