The present invention describes compounds of the following formula: processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and their use in therapy. The compounds of the present invention inhibit IAPs (inhibitors of apoptosis proteins) and thus are useful in the treatment of cancer, autoimmune diseases and other disorders where a defect in apoptosis is implicated.
The present invention provides IAP antagonists that are peptidomimetic compounds that mimic the tertiary binding structure and activity of the N-terminal four amino acids of mature Smac to lAPs.
本发明提供的 IAP 拮抗剂是仿肽化合物,可模仿成熟 Smac N 端 4 个氨基酸与 lAP 的三级结合结构和活性。
