Abstract:Introduction: Potent, selective, and orally available small molecule inhibitors of the p53 regulator MDM2 represent a promising class of therapeutics. When applied to p53WT tumors, MDM2 inhibitors disrupt the MDM2-p53 interaction, thereby activating the p53 pathway and inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate two clinically available PET tracers for their ability to monitor early response to treatment with a novel MDM2 inhibitor.
