Intensive anticancer drug discovery efforts have been made to develop small molecule inhibitors of the p53-MDM2 and p53-MDMX interactions. We present here the structures of the most potent inhibitors bound to MDM2 and MDMX that are based on the new imidazo-indole scaffold. In addition, the structure of the recently reported spiro-oxindole inhibitor bound to MDM2 is described. The structures indicate how the substituents of a small molecule that bind to the three subpockets of the MDM2/X-p53 interaction should be optimized for effective binding to MDM2 and/or MDMX. While the spiro-oxindole inhibitor triggers significant ligand-induced changes in MDM2, the imidazo-indoles share similar binding modes for MDMX and MDM2, but cause only minimal induced-fit changes in the structures of both proteins. Our study includes the first structure of the complex between MDMX and a small molecule and should aid in developing efficient scaffolds for binding to MDMX and/or MDM2.
