Thermal stability equilibria of MDMX.

<p><b>Panel a.</b> Thermal shift data for MDMX (23–111) showing a 7 degree stabilization of the protein’s melting point by addition of compound <b>1</b>. The panel shows individual data sampling points from 3 independent experiments from each condition. <b>Panel b.</b> Dose dependency and time dependency of the effect showing an apparent EC₅₀ of roughly 1 µM and minimal time dependency. <b>Panel c.</b> Dose dependent reversal of the effects of compound <b>1</b> by TCEP. <b>Panel d.</b> Dose dependent reversal of the effects of compound <b>1</b> by DTT.</p

Formation of covalent adducts between compound 1 and MDMX.

<p><b>Panel a.</b> Mass spectrum arising from unmodified hMDMX (GST-tagged screening construct) showing unmodified mass of the protein. <b>Panel b.</b> Mass spectrum arising from treatment of 20 µM GST-hMDMX with 100 µM of compound <b>1</b> demonstrating multiple alkylation events. Note that 100 µM is well above the solubility limit of compound <b>1</b> and significant aggregation of compound exists. <b>Panel c.</b> Mass spectrum arising from treatment of 1 µM GST-hMDMX with 5 µM of compound <b>1</b> demonstrating no alkylation events. <b>Panel d.</b> Mass spectrum arising from unmodified hMDMX (untagged aa 23 to 111 construct) showing unmodified mass of the protein. <b>Panel e.</b> Mass spectrum arising from treatment of 20 µM hMDMX with 100 µM of compound <b>1</b> demonstrating partial alkylation. <b>Panel f.</b> Mass spectrum arising from treatment of 1 µM hMDMX with 5 µM of compound <b>1</b> demonstrating no alkylation.</p
