Apoptosis Activator 2 exerted a cytostatic effect on the majority of cell lines tested, inhibiting cell growth by 50–100% at 10 μM in 40 of 48 cell lines tested. Apoptosis Activator 2 exerted a cytotoxic effect, reducing the cell numbers by 10–50% and 50–100% in four and eight cell lines, respectively, from the initial levels when tested at 10 μM. At 100 μM Apoptosis Activator 2 exhibited 100% cytotoxicity in virtually all cell lines, an effect that may be due to nonspecific toxicity.

NSC319726 did not induce WT p53 protein levels or transcriptional activity as common cytotoxic agents such as etoposide do in vitro. NSC319726 exhibited a much higher sensitivity for the MEF-p53R172H/R172H cell line as compared to the p53+/+ and p53-/- controls. NSC319726 treatment of a MEF cell line derived from p53R172H/R172H mice resulted in aloss of PAB240 immunoflouresence staining. in vivo: At a dose of 1mg/kg, tumor growth of the H460 (p53+/+) and MDAMB468 (p53R273W) xenografts was not inhibited relative to the vehicle control whereas tumor growth was significantly inhibited in the TOV112D (p53R175H) xenografts. When we lowered the dose ten-fold to 0.1 mg/kg in the TOV112D mice, we observed only a small difference in tumor growth inhibition demonstrating both a dosage effect of the drug and a larger therapeutic window.Taken together, these findings provide in vivo evidence for allele specific p53 mutant reactivation.
