Description:IC50: 8.6 nM (singleplexed); 7.8 nM (multiplexed)
USP7, also known as HAUSP, has been found to be critical in cancer progression due to its influence on the stability of the tumor suppressor p53. P022077 Inhibits ubiquitin-specific protease (USP) 7 and also inhibits the closely related deubiquitinase (DUB) USP4.
In vitro: P022077 had negligible activity versus DEN1 and SENP2core over the concentration range tested, but inhibited USP7 with an IC50 of 8 μM [1]. In another study Inhibiting, USP7 with the small-molecule inhibitor P22077 attenuates the p53-dependent apoptotic pathway by destabilizing Tip60. P22077, however, is still cytotoxic, and this is partly due to destabilization of Tip60 [2].
In vivo: P022077 is currently in in-vitro investigation and no animal in vivo study is ongoing.
Clinical trial: P022077 is currently in the preclinical development and no clinical trial is ongoing.
