TUMOR SUPPRESSING IVs
Stop Tumor Growth With Nutlin.
Nutlin is a class of small molecule compounds known as MDM2 inhibitors. MDM2 (Mouse Double Minute 2) is a protein that plays a critical role in regulating the activity of the tumor suppressor protein p53. P53 is often referred to as the "guardian of the genome" because it helps prevent the growth and division of cells with damaged DNA, including those that could potentially become cancerous.
When DNA damage is detected, p53 becomes activated and triggers various cellular responses, including cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, and, if necessary, apoptosis (programmed cell death) to prevent the propagation of damaged cells.
Nutlin compounds specifically target the interaction between MDM2 and p53. MDM2 normally binds to p53 and inhibits its activity, effectively keeping p53 in check. However, when Nutlin binds to MDM2, it prevents this interaction and allows p53 to become active. As a result, p53 is able to carry out its roles in cell cycle control, DNA repair, and apoptosis more effectively.
The potential applications of Nutlin and MDM2 inhibitors include:
- Cancer Treatment: Nutlin compounds are being explored as potential treatments for certain types of cancer. By restoring p53 function in cancer cells, Nutlin may induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, leading to tumor suppression. It’s particularly relevant in cancers with intact p53 but elevated levels of MDM2 that prevent p53 from functioning properly.
- Combination Therapy: Nutlin and MDM2 inhibitors might be used in combination with other cancer therapies, such as chemotherapy and radiation, to enhance treatment outcomes.
- p53 Research: Nutlin compounds are valuable tools for researchers studying the p53 pathway and its role in cancer development. They allow researchers to investigate how restoring p53 function impacts cancer cells.
At Infuze MD, we use a PEGylated or restructured and more effective form of Nutlin, called PEG-Nutlin. This can be used as a stand alone therapy but is best when combined with customized immunotherapy peptides.
