The development of small-molecule MDM2 inhibitors to restore dysfunctional p53 activities represents a novel approach for cancer treatment. In a previous communication, the efforts leading to the identification of a non-imidazoline MDM2 inhibitor, RG7388, was disclosed and revealed the desirable in vitro and in vivo pharmacological properties that this class of pyrrolidine-based inhibitors possesses. Given this richness and the critical need for a wide variety of chemical structures to ensure success in the clinic, research was expanded to evaluate additional derivatives. Here we report two new potent, selective, and orally active p53-MDM2 antagonists, RO5353 and RO2468, as follow-ups with promising potential for clinical development.
开发小分子MDM2抑制剂以恢复功能失调的p53活性是一种新型癌症治疗方法。在之前的一篇通讯中,公开了导致鉴定出一种非咪唑啉MDM2抑制剂RG7388的研究工作,并揭示了这类基于吡咯烷的抑制剂所具有的理想体外和体内药理学特性。鉴于这类化合物的丰富性以及为确保临床成功而对多种化学结构的迫切需求,研究范围扩大到评估其他衍生物。在此,我们报告两种新的强效、选择性和口服活性的p53-MDM2拮抗剂RO5353和RO2468,作为具有临床开发潜力的后续研究成果。
