Biochem/physiol Actions

PRIMA-1Met (APR-246) is a re-activator of mutant p53 activity. It′s the methylated, more potent derivative of PRIMA-1. PRIMA-1Met covalently modifies the core domain of mutated p53 restoring the wild-type conformation and activty of p53 in tumor cells, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. PRIMA-1Met has also been shown to increase intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which may contribute to its anti-tumor activity.
PRIMA-1Met, also called APR-246, is converted to methylene quinuclidinone (MQ), a Michael acceptor. It interacts with p53 through the cysteine (Cys) residue. It blocks the thioredoxin reductase (TrxR1) enzyme. It is under clinical investigation and well-studied. PRIMA-1Met effect is tested on breast cancer specific gene expression.

There is an intensive need for the development of novel drugs for the treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), the most lethal gynecologic malignancy due to the high recurrence rate. TP53 mutation is a common event in EOC, particularly in
Vladimir J N Bykov et al.

TP53 is the most frequently mutated gene in cancer. The p53 protein activates transcription of genes that promote cell cycle arrest or apoptosis, or regulate cell metabolism, and other processes. Missense mutations in TP53 abolish specific DNA binding of p53
