Inhibition of the glutaredoxin and thioredoxin systems and ribonucleotide reductase by mutant p53-targeting compound APR-246

Abstract The tumor suppressor p53 is commonly inactivated in human tumors, allowing evasion of p53-dependent apoptosis and tumor progression. The small molecule APR-246 (PRIMA-1Met) can reactive mutant p53 in tumor cells and trigger cell death by apoptosis. The thioredoxin (Trx) and glutaredoxin (Gr...
