Reactivation of mutant p53 is likely to provide important benefits for treatment of chemotherapy- and radio-therapy-resistant tumors. We demonstrate here that the maleimide-derived molecule MIRA-1 can reactivate DNA binding and preserve the active conformation of mutant p53 protein in vitro and restore transcriptional transactivation to mutant p53 in living cells. MIRA-1 induced mutant p53-dependent cell death in different human tumor cells carrying tetracycline-regulated mutant p53. The structural analog MIRA-3 showed antitumor activity in vivo against human mutant p53-carrying tumor xenografts in SCID mice. The MIRA scaffold is a novel lead for the development of anticancer drugs specifically targeting mutant p53.
