Identification of a disruptor of the MDM2-p53 protein-protein interaction facilitated by high-throughput in silico docking

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Jul 15;19(14):3756-9. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2009.04.124. Epub 2009 May 3.

Abstract

NSC 333003 has been identified from the NCI Diversity Set as an inhibitor of the MDM2-p53 protein-protein interaction by in silico docking (virtual screening). Its potency and chemical characteristics render it well suited for lead optimization studies that can result in more potent analogs with improved drug-like properties. Its synthesis was achieved using an acid catalyzed condensation reaction from commercially available benzothiazole hydrazine and pyridyl phenyl ketone in refluxing methanol. Stereochemical implications for this compound are described.
