Wild-type p53 plays a crucial role in the prevention of cancer. Since dysfunction of p53 can be caused by increased levels of the protein MDM2, small molecules which antagonize the interaction between these two-proteins have-potential in cancer therapy. The discovery and structure determination of a fungal metabolite, chlorofusin, which antagonizes the p53/MDM2 interaction are reported.
