Upregulation of p53 through induction of MDM2 degradation: improved potency through the introduction of an alkylketone sidechain on the anthraquinone core

Overexpression of ubiquitin ligase MDM2 causes depletion of the p53 tumour-suppressor and thus leads to cancer progression. In recent years, anthraquinone analogs have received significant attention due to their ability to downregulate MDM2, thereby promoting p53-induced apoptosis. Previously, we ha...
