Application

Nutlin-3 has been used:
  • as a drug to stimulate p53 functions in gene transfer experiment
  • to inject worms to verify the prevalent role of translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) in posterior amputated Eeugeniae
  • as a p53 activator in cyclotherapy studies
  • as an mdm2 inhibitor to know its effect on p53 levels, cleaved caspase 3 and Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) cleavage

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nutlin-3, an antagonist of a human homolog of murine double minute 2 (HDM2). It has the ability to inhibit the HDM2-directed degradation of p53. Nutlin-3 can also enhance the transcriptional activities of p73.
Nutlin-3 is a Mdm2 (mouse double minute 2) antagonist, p53 pathway activator, and apoptosis inducer.
