General description

A cell-permeable cis-imidazoline compound that acts as a potent and selective MDM2 antagonist (IC50 = 90 nM for Nutlin-3a and 13.6 µM for Nutlin-3b) and displays antitumor properties. Activates p53 pathway by binding MDM2 in the p53-binding pocket and inhibits MDM2-p53 interaction. Shown to suppress tumor growth by induction of apoptosis in several cancer cells with wild-type p53 and in xenografted tumor mice. A 10 mM (1 mg/172 µl) solution of MDM2 Antagonist, Nutlin-3, Racemic (Cat. No. 444151) in DMSO is also available.

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is associated with brain accumulation of synaptotoxic amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides produced by the proteolytic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP). Cognitive impairments associated with AD correlate with dendritic spine and excitatory synapse loss, particularly within the hippocampus.

The p53 tumor suppressor is a key mediator of the cellular response to stress. Phosphorylation induced by multiple stress-activated kinases has been proposed to be essential for p53 stabilization, interaction with transcriptional co-activators, and activation of p53 target genes. However

MDM2 binds the p53 tumor suppressor protein with high affinity and negatively modulates its transcriptional activity and stability. Overexpression of MDM2, found in many human tumors, effectively impairs p53 function. Inhibition of MDM2-p53 interaction can stabilize p53 and may offer

Quantification of gene dependency across hundreds of cell lines using genome-scale CRISPR screens has revealed co-essential pathways/modules and critical functions of uncharacterized genes. In contrast to protein-coding genes, robust CRISPR-based loss-of-function screens are lacking for long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which
