This thesis presents my research on the discovery, design, and development of small molecule antagonists for the p53-Mdm2 interaction. Four groups of low molecular weight, organic compounds have been synthesized, tested and optimized in order to achieve the strongest interaction with the Mdm2 protein. Using the multicomponent reactions a large variety of compounds with different substituents were synthesized and tested in the fluorescence polarization assay and in antagonist induced dissociation assay. The best of the herein described inhibitors have micromolar potency for disrupting the p53-Mdm2 interaction.
