Synthesis, Physicochemical Properties, Drug Likeness, and Antitumor Activity of 2-[5-(4-Bromobenzylidene)-4-oxo-2-sulfanylidene-1,3-thiazolidin-3-yl]-3-methylbutanoic Acid Esters and Amides
The present invention relates to small molecule antagonists of Bcl-2 family proteins such as Bcl-2 and/or Bcl-X
L
. In particular, the present invention provides non-peptide cell permeable small molecules (e.g., tricyclo-dibenzo-diazocine-dioxides) that bind to a pocket in Bcl-2/Bcl-X
L
that block the anti-apoptotic function of these proteins in cancer cells and tumor tissues exhibiting Bcl-2 protein overexpression. In preferred embodiments, the small molecules of the present invention are active at the BH3 binding pocket of Bcl-2 family proteins (e.g., Bcl-2, Bcl-X
L
, and Mcl-1). The compositions and methods of the present invention are useful therapeutics for cancerous diseases either alone or in combination with chemotherapeutic or other drugs.
A protease resistant polypeptide includes an amino acid sequence that has a sequence identity at least 80% homologous to about 10 to 80 consecutive amino acids of SEQ ID NO:1.
There is described herein compounds, compositions and methods for inducing synthetic lethality in a cancer cell(s).

A method for controlling yeast-to-filamentous growth transition in fungi comprising contacting a fungal cell with an anti-fungal small molecule in an amount effective to reduce or inhibit the yeast-to-filamentous growth transition, wherein the anti-fungal small molecule is 5-(p-Bromobenzylidine)-α-isopropyl-4-oxo-2-thioxo-3-thiozolidineacetic acid or an analog thereof. A method for treating fungal infections comprising contacting one or more fungal cells with an anti-fungal small molecule in an amount effective to control the fungal infection, wherein the anti-fungal small molecule is 5-(p-Bromobenzylidine)-α-isopropyl-4-oxo-2-thioxo-3-thiozolidineactic acid or an analog thereof.
