BW-AQ-113

BW-AQ-113 is a derivative of Anthraquinone that specifically degrades MDM2 and activates the p53 pathway. It exhibits IC50 values of 0.12 μM in Molt-4 cells and 0.2 μM in EU-1 cells. In p53-deficient K562 cells, p53-mutant T98G cells, and p53-inhibited HeLa cells, its IC50 values are 0.74, 5.2, and 2.1 μM, respectively. BW-AQ-113 induces apoptosis by downregulating the anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2 and upregulating pro-apoptotic genes Bax and CASP3. Additionally, BW-AQ-113 can be utilized in research on hematologic malignancies with wild-type p53.
