  1. The first value quoted in each table cell refers to a compound treatment period of either 1 hours in the case of small molecules and 4 hours in the case of the stapled peptides. The second value in each cells refers to a compound treatment period of 24 hours. NA = No activity. ND = Not determined. IC50 values were not determined for titrations that sampled insufficient points for the derivation of accurate values. Table does not include IC50 values derived for normalised data. IC50s were also determined for Nutlin-3A against FLUOPPI Mdm2:p53 and Mdm4:p53 systems at 1 hour, independently of each system. These were 4.9 ± 0.6 µM and N/A, respectively. IC50s were also determined for RO-5963 against FLUOPPI Mdm2:p53 and Mdm4:p53 at 24 hour, seperately as well. These were 37.7 ± 1.9 µM and 37.1 ± 2.0 µM, respectively.
