More Information
Summary:There is provided the use of an organic non-peptide compound that binds to one or more domains of a human protein of the p53 family under physiological conditions and stabilizes a functional conformation therein for the preparation of a medicament for promoting the activity of a human protein of the p53 family, wherein one or more functional activities of said protein are at least partially impaired by the inability of said protein to maintain a functional conformation under physiological condition. Such compound may be used in the treatment of cancer due to impaired activity of p53 family proteins (p53,p63 or p73).
