Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Nutlin-3, also known as (±)-Nutlin-3 and N-6287, is a p53-Mdm2 Antagonist for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Treatment. Nutlin-3 specifically targets p53-Mdm2 interaction offers new therapeutic opportunities by enhancing cancer cell growth arrest and apoptosis through the restoration of the p53-mediated tumor suppression pathway while producing minimal cytotoxicity and side effects. Nutlin-3 reverses the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in gemcitabine-resistant hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Nutlin-3 sensitizes nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells to cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity.

Product Data
Biological target:
Nutlin-3 is a commercial available p53-MDM2 inhibitor, with Ki of 90 nM.
In vitro activity:
As a single agent, Nutlin-3 (2-10 micromol/L) stabilized p53 and p21(WAF) levels and was toxic to WTp53-22RV1 cells (IC(50), 4.3 micromol/L) but had minimal toxicity toward p53-deficient cells (IC(50), >10 micromol/L). When combined with radiation under oxic conditions, Nutlin-3 decreased clonogenic survival in all three cell lines: 22RV1 [sensitizing enhancement ratio (SER), 1.24], DU145 (SER, 1.27), and PC-3 (SER, 1.12). Anoxia induced p53 protein expression in 22RV1 cells and this was augmented by Nutlin-3 treatment. Furthermore, Nutlin-3 was more effective as a radiosensitizer under hypoxic conditions particularly in WTp53-expressing cells: 22RV1 (SER, 1.78), DU145 (SER, 1.31), and PC-3 (SER, 1.28). Reference: Mol Cancer Ther. 2008 Apr;7(4):993-9. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18413812/
In vivo activity:
Nutlin-3 inhibits clonogenic growth of ESCC cells and exerts a synergistic cytotoxic-effect when combined with chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin. Moreover, xenograft tumor growth in SCID mice was suppressed by Nutlin-3. The protein expression level of DNMTs was downregulated, and that of TSGs was upregulated by Nutlin-3 treatment in the excised tumor tissue.
