Types of MDM2 inhibitors and mutant p53 binders, mechanisms of action, and toxicity

Types of MDM2 inhibitorsExamplesSpecific mechanisms of actionToxicityReferences
Inhibitors of the p53-MDM2 interaction RG7112, idasanutlin (RG7388), siremadlin (HDM201), and NVP-CGM097, APG-115 These drugs combine with MDM2 to inhibit the p53-MDM2 interaction GI toxicity and hematotoxicity RG711254,
RG738855,
HDM20156,
NVP-CGM09757 
APG-11558  
Direct inductors of p53; plus: AMG-232 inhibits p53-MDM2 interaction MK-8242 KRT-232 (AMG-232; navtemadlin) This class of drugs acts directly on p53. They cause induction of p53 signaling GI toxicity and hematotoxicity AMG-23259  
Inhibitor of the p53-MDM2 interaction Milademetan (DS-3032b/RAIN-32) This class of drugs acts directly on p53 leading to p53 stabilization GI toxicity and hematotoxicity Milademetan (DS-3032b)60  
Mutant p53 binder, restores wt conformation APR-246 (PRIMA-1(MET)) Acts directly on mutant p53, restoring features of wt p53 Fatigue, headache, dizziness, and other neurologic AEs APR-246 (PRIMA-1(MET))61  
COTI-2 Acts in wt and mutant p53 cancer; also inhibits the mTOR pathway Nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and abdominal pain NCT02433626
