Understanding small-molecule binding to MDM2: insights into structural effects of isoindolinone inhibitors from NMR spectroscopy.
Chem Biol Drug Des. 2011 May;77(5):301-8

The interaction between murine double minute (MDM2) and p53 is a major target in anticancer drug design. Several potent compound series, including the nutlins and spirooxindoles, have previously been established as high-affinity antagonists of MDM2. In this paper, we describe the interaction of isoindolinone inhibitors with MDM2, as characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Isoindolinone inhibitors bind specifically to the MDM2 p53 binding site and exploit all sub-pockets used by p53, nutlins and spirooxindoles. Furthermore, isoindolinones bind with low micromolar to high nanomolar affinities, with the best compound approaching the potency of nutlin-3.

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] About paragnetic impurities, inorganic salts, bad workups, etc. and their impact on small-molecule NMR spectra
About paragnetic impurities, inorganic salts, bad workups, etc. and their impact on small-molecule NMR spectra
I sometimes face the challenge of explaining to my organic chemists that, even if no impurity signals are visible in their 1H spectrum, other signs (like FID shape, very poor s/n compared to what could be expected with the sample qty, broad peaks, bad resolution...) indicate that clearly, something is wrong with their sample.
Everybody would agree that it's way much easier to convince an invidual based on concrete facts ("look, here we can see solvent/starting material/side...

MDM2 is a regulator of cell growth processes that acts by binding to the tumor suppressor protein p53 and ultimately restraining its activity. While inactivation of p53 by mutation is commonly observed in human cancers, a substantial percentage of tumors express wild type p53. In many of...
