Design, synthesis and evaluation of monovalent Smac mimetics that bind to the BIR2 domain of the anti-apoptotic protein XIAP
摘要:
We report the systematic rational design and synthesis of new monovalent Smac mimetics that bind preferentially to the BIR2 domain of the anti-apoptotic protein XIAP. Characterization of compounds in vitro (including 9i; ML101) led to the determination of key structural requirements for BIR2 binding affinity. Compounds 9h and 9j sensitized TRAIL-resistant breast cancer cells to apoptotic cell death, highlighting the value of these probe compounds as tools to investigate the biology of XIAP.

explore the passive artificial membrane permeability of 37 synthetic tetrapeptides bearing one or two unnatural aminoacids bearing hydrogenbondacceptor (HBA) atoms for possible intramolecular H-bond formation. Permeability values spanning three orders of magnitude provide an empirical dataset of potential interest to medicinal and computational chemists studying the membrane permeability of peptides
