A small-molecule inhibitor of MDMX activates p53 and induces apoptosis.

abstract：:Stem cell factor (SCF)/Kit and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I)/IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) autocrine loops play a prominent role in the growth of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Previous data suggested that IGF-I protects cells from apoptosis induced by STI571, an efficient inhibitor of Kit signal transduction, by act...
