Abstract
Protein-protein interaction (PPI) systems represent a rich potential source of targets for drug discovery, but historically have proven to be difficult, particularly in the lead identification stage. Application of the fragment-based approach may help toward success with this target class. To provide an example toward understanding the potential issues associated with such an application, we have deconstructed one of the best established protein-protein inhibitors, the Nutlin series that inhibits the interaction between MDM2 and p53, into fragments, and surveyed the resulting binding properties using heteronuclear single quantum coherence nuclear magnetic resonance (HSQC NMR), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and X-ray crystallography. We report the relative contributions toward binding affinity for each of the key substituents of the Nutlin molecule and show that this series could hypothetically have been discovered via a fragment approach. We find that the smallest fragment of Nutlin that retains binding accesses two subpockets of MDM2 and has a molecular weight at the high end of the range that normally defines fragments.

Full text Abstract
Figure 2.
Fig. 2. Inhibition of MDM2-p53 binding by Nutlin-1 activates the p53 pathway in cells with wild-type p53. (A) SW480 (mutant p53) and HCT116 (wild-type p53) cells were incubated with the indicated concentrations of Nutlin-1 for 8 hours and p53, MDM2, and p21 proteins were analyzed in the cell lysates by Western blotting. (B) Nutlin-1 treatment induces the expression of the p21 gene but not the p53 gene. Cells with wild-type p53 (HCT116, RKO, and H460a) were treated with Nutlin-1 for 8 hours, and the change in the level of transcription was measured by quantitative PCR and expressed as fold induction compared with the untreated control. (C) Nutlin-1 arrests cell cycle in the G[1] and G[2] phases. HCT116 and SJSA-1 cells were incubated with 4 µM Nutlin-1 or an equivalent amount of solvent for 22 hours and an additional 2 hours with 10 µM BrdU, and cell cycle distribution was analyzed after propidium iodide/fluorescein isothiocyanate-antibody to BrdU staining (30). Cells within the rectangles are in S phase. (D) Antiproliferative and cytotoxic activity of Nutlin-1. Exponentially growing cancer cells with wild-type p53 (HCT116, RKO, and SJSA-1) or mutant p53 (MDA-MB-435 and SW480) were incubated with a range of concentrations for 5 days and the cell mass and viability were measured by the MT T assay. (E) Inhibition of clonogenic cell growth. Cancer cells with wild-type p53 (HCT116 and RKO) or mutant p53 (MDA-MB-435, SW480, and PC3) were seeded at a low cell density and their ability to form colonies was measured after 5 days of incubation with Nutlin-1. (F) p53 activation by Nutlin-1 does not involve Ser15 phosphorylation on p53. Cancer cells were treated with doxorubicin (1 µM), etoposide (10 µM), or Nutlin-1 (6 µM) for 20 hours, and the amount of total p53 and p53 phosphorylated on Ser15 was determined by Western blottingin aliquots of cell lysates normalized for total protein.

Fig. 4. In vivo antitumor activity of MDM2 inhibitors. Nude mice (10 animals per dose group) bearing subcutaneous human cancer xenografts (SJSA-1) with mean volumes of 185 mm3 received 200 mg/kg of an oral dose of Nutlin-3 (racemic) twice daily or 10 mg/kg of intravenous doxorubicin once a week for 3 weeks. The tumor volumes were measured and recorded periodically duringthe course of the study. P < 0.001 for Nutlin-3 and doxorubicin compared with corresponding vehicle controls. Error bars show SEM.
