| Bioactivity | MA242 is a specific dual inhibitor of MDM2 and NFAT1. MA242 directly binds both MDM2 and NFAT1 with high affinity, induces their protein degradation, and inhibits NFAT1-mediated transcription of MDM2. MA242 induces apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cell lines regardless of p53 status[1]. |
| Invitro | MA242 (0.05-5 μM; 72 hours) significantly inhibits pancreatic cancer cell growth, with IC50s ranging from 0.1 to 0.4 μM, regardless of the p53 status of the cells. However, MA242 shows minimal effects on the growth of normal HPDE cells (IC50=5.81 μM), indicating that MA242 has selective effects against cancer cells[1]. MA242 (0.1-0.5 μM; 24 hours) significantly decreases the MDM2 and NFAT1 protein levels at a low concentration in all three cell lines[1]. MA242 decreases cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cell lines regardless of p53 status[1]. MA242 alone or in combination with Gemcitabine inhibits pancreatic tumor growth and metastasis without any host toxicity[1]. MA242 exerts cytotoxicity against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells by inhibiting the NFAT1-MDM2 pathway in vitro, independent of p53. MA242 shows selective cytotoxicity against HCC cells, with IC50 values ranging from 0.1-0.31 μM[2]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: |
