Biochem Physiol Actions: PRIMA-1Met, also called APR-246, is converted to methylene quinuclidinone (MQ), a Michael acceptor. It interacts with p53 through the cysteine (Cys) residue. It blocks the thioredoxin reductase (TrxR1) enzyme. It is under clinical investigation and well-studied. PRIMA-1Met effect is tested on breast cancer specific gene expression.
