PRIMA-1 and PRIMA-1Met (APR-246): From Mutant/Wild Type p53 Reactivation to Unexpected Mechanisms Underlying Their Potent Anti-Tumor Effect in Combinatorial Therapies

Abstract: p53 protects cells from genetic assaults by triggering cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis. Inactivation of p53 pathway is found in the vast majority of human cancers often due to somatic missense mutations in TP53 or to an excessive degradation of the protein. Accordingly, reactivation of p53 appears as a quite promising pharmacological approach and, effectively, several attempts have been made in that sense. The most widely investigated compounds for this purpose are PRIMA-1 (p53 reactivation and induction of ma… Show more

“…In this study, in vitro drug sensitivity analysis identified APR‐246 as an effective agent for TP53 mutant CK/MK AML. APR‐246 has shown multiple anti‐cancer mechanisms including restoration of mutant p53 function, induction of reactive oxygen species and unfold protein response . The myriad of therapeutic effects in addition to p53 restoration might account for its effect on some cases of CK/MK AML carrying wildtype TP53 and those AML with TP53 deletion .…”

“…p53 is a well‐known tumor suppressor gene, however, mutated p53 plays a role of oncogene, as in this case of our CRC cells. PRIMA‐1 is a mutant p53 reactivating compound that has been progressed to clinical trials . PRIMA‐1 was found to induce apoptosis and increase the expression level of p53 target genes (Puma, Noxa, Bax) .…”

“…PRIMA-1 is a mutant p53 reactivating compound that has been progressed to clinical trials. [34] PRIMA-1 was found to induce apoptosis and increase the expression level of p53 target genes (Puma, Noxa, Bax). [35] Similarly, our results demonstrated that natural compound OA suppressed mutated p53 to induce apoptosis by caspase activation through cytochrome c release ( Figure 5).…”

“…Furthermore, several compounds were identified to restore p53 functions. Prominently, p53 reactivation and induction of massive apoptosis (PRIMA-1) and PRIMA-1Met are currently evaluated in several clinical trials (67). In the liver, application of the compounds is currently restricted to preclinical data and shows promising anti-tumor effects when mutant p53 is silenced by siRNA.…”
