Properties
Description
Nutlin 3a, soluble in DMSO and ethanol and insoluble in water, prevents the degradation of p53 by inhibiting the MDM2-p53 interaction, leading to increased p53 levels and promoting apoptosis in p53-responsive cells. It targets p53/MDM2 interaction.
Molecular Formula
C30H30Cl2N4O4
Targets
p53/MDM2 interaction: 90 nM
Solubility
DMSO: 98 mg/mL (168.53 mM); Water: Insoluble; Ethanol: 98 mg/mL (196.53 mM)
Identity
Confirmed by NMR/HPLC/MS.
Applications
Nutlin 3a can be utilized to activate p53 by disrupting its interaction with MDM2, aiding studies in apoptosis and cancer progression.
