Description

Description & Mechanism

PNC-27 is a synthetic peptide derived from the HDM-2–binding domain of the tumor suppressor protein p53, conjugated to a membrane-penetrating leader sequence. It was developed as a structurally defined research tool to investigate selective cancer cell membrane disruption and p53-associated anticancer mechanisms.

In biochemical and cellular research models, PNC-27 has been shown to preferentially interact with HDM-2 proteins expressed on the surface of certain cancer cells, leading to membrane pore formation and rapid necrotic cell death. Experimental studies focus on peptide–membrane interactions, cancer cell selectivity, and downstream signalling effects under controlled conditions. Observed effects depend on experimental design, concentration, and model system.

Applications in Research

• Investigation of p53-related tumour suppressor mechanisms
• Studies of cancer cell–selective membrane disruption
• In vitro cytotoxicity and membrane interaction assays
• Use as a reference compound in peptide-based anticancer research

Handling, Reconstitution & Stability

• Avoid vigorous agitation during dissolution
• Filter sterilize if required (0.22 µm) prior to use
• Aliquot and store reconstituted solutions at –20 °C or lower
• Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles
