Description
HLI98C is a HDM2 ubiquitin ligase inhibitor. HLI98C exhibits cytotoxic activities and HDM2 E3 ligase inhibitory activities. In cells, HLI98C allows the stabilization of p53 and HDM2 and activation of p53-dependent transcription and apoptosis. The p53 tumor suppressor protein is regulated by its interaction with HDM2, which serves as a ubiquitin ligase (E3) to target p53 for degradation. HLI98C may demonstrate anti-tumor activity by inhibiting recognition of the E3 enzyme and substrate.
