A c-Myc Max interaction inhibitor. The c-Myc oncoprotein and its partner Max are intrinsically disordered (ID) monomers that undergo coupled folding and binding upon heterodimerization. 10074-G5, similarly to 10058-F4, specifically inhibits this interaction by binding to c-Myc, thus preventing C-Myc specific DNA binding and target genes regulation. 10074-G5 (2.8 microM) is slightly more potent that 10058-F4 (5.2 microM) most likely due to the fact that 10074-G5 binds to a different region of C-Myc than 10054-F4. Thus, the compound may become desirable for probing different interactions. |
