Abstract
Activation of the p53 tumour suppressor is predicted to have therapeutically beneficial effects. Many current antiโcancer therapies activate the p53 response via DNA damage. Nonโgenotoxic activation of the p53 pathway would open the way to longโterm and possibly prophylactic treatments. We have established a simple protocol to screen small compound libraries for activators of p53โdependent transcription, and to select and characterise the most interesting hits, which include nonโgenotoxic activators. These compounds or their derivatives are of potential clinical interest. This approach may also lead to the identification of novel p53โactivating compound families and possibly to the description of novel molecular pathways regulating p53 activity. ยฉ 2005 WileyโLiss, Inc.
