General description

A cell-permeable, p53-targeting, tricyclic thiophene derivative that displays antitumor properties. Blocks p53—MDM2 interaction and p53 ubiquitination and induces p53-dependent apoptosis in tumor cells expressing wild-type p53. Shown to restore the tumor suppressor function of p53 by inducing its accumulation in HCT116 colon carcinoma cells (~0.1 µM) and in p53-positive SCID mice xenografted with HCT116 cells (0.1, 1 or 10 mg/kg, ip) in vivo.

Recombinant human bone morphogenetic proteins (rhBMPs) can stimulate bone formation and growth in the treatment of spinal fusions and nonunions. However, it is still unclear whether rhBMPs function in the prevention of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Here, we discovered that
