ZINC1797251, a novel natural product small molecule targets viral oncoprotein E6 in human papillomavirus-16 positive cervical cancer cells

cell phase arrest and promoted early and late phase apoptosis in these cells. The restoration of tumor inhibitory activity of p53 in HPV-infected cervical cancer cells to promote apoptosis could be achieved using the ZINC molecule-ZINC1797251. However, further studies are deemed essential for further developments.
