CBL0137(CBL-0137) activates p53 and inhibits NF-kB with EC50s of 0.37 μM and 0.47 μM in the cell-based p53 and NF-kB reporter assays, respectively. It also inhibits histone chaperone FACT (facilitates chromatin transcription complex).
CBL0137 is a FACT inhibitor that functionally inactivates the facilitates chromatin transcription complex (FACT), driving the effects on p53 and NF-κB and promoting cancer cell death.
SJ 172550 is the first MDMX inhibitor with EC50 of 0.84 uM; binds reversibly to MDMX and effectively kills retinoblastoma cells in which the expression of MDMX is amplified.
