1,4,5-Trisubstituted Imidazole-Based p53-MDM2/MDMX Antagonists with Aliphatic Linkers for Conjugation with Biological Carriers.
The tumor suppressor protein p53, the "guardian of the genome", is inactivated in nearly all cancer types by mutations in the TP53 gene or by overexpression of its negative regulators, oncoproteins MDM2/MDMX. Recovery of p53 function by disrupting the p53-MDM2/MDMX interaction using small-molecule antagonists could provide an efficient nongenotoxic anticancer therapy. Here we present the syntheses, activities, and crystal structures of the p53-MDM2/MDMX inhibitors based on the 1,4,5-trisubstituted imidazole scaffold which are appended with aliphatic linkers that enable coupling to bioactive carriers. The compounds have favorable properties at both biochemical and cellular levels. The most effective compound 19 is a tight binder of MDM2 and activates p53 in cancer cells that express the wild-type p53, leading to cell cycle arrest and growth inhibition. Crystal structures reveal that compound 19 induces MDM2 dimerization via the aliphatic linker. This unique dimerization-binding mode opens new prospects for the optimization of the p53-MDM2/MDMX inhibitors and conjugation with bioactive carriers.

Discovery of novel dihydroimidazothiazole derivatives as p53-MDM2 protein-protein interaction inhibitors: synthesis, biological evaluation and structure-activity relationships.
Starting with Nutlins as an initial lead, we designed and generated bicyclic scaffolds aiming to place cis-bischlorophenyl moiety at the equivalent location where the hydrophobic interaction with MDM2 could be expected. As a result, we discovered novel MDM2 inhibitors possessing a dihydroimidazothiazole scaffold. Further exploration of the side chains on the dihydroimidazothiazole scaffold aided by molecular modeling resulted in compounds exhibiting almost comparable in vitro potency to Nutlin-3a.
