Caspase activity and apoptosis are promoted using active, dimeric Smac peptide mimetics of the general formula M1-L-M2, wherein moieties M1 and M2 are monomeric Smac mimetics and L is a covalent linker. Target cancerous or inflammatory cells are contacted with an effective amount of an active, dimeric Smac mimetic, and a resultant increase in apoptosis of the target cells is detected. The contacting step may be effected by administering to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of The compoundic mimetic, wherein the individual may be subject to concurrent or antecedent radiation or chemotherapy for treatment of a neoproliferative pathology.
Caspase活性和细胞凋亡可以通过使用通用公式M1-L-M2的活性二聚体Smac肽模拟物来促进,其中M1和M2是单体Smac模拟物,L是共价连接剂。将靶向癌细胞或炎症细胞与有效量的活性二聚体Smac模拟物接触,并检测靶细胞凋亡的增加。接触步骤可以通过给予含有治疗有效量的化合物模拟物的制药组合物来实现,其中个体可能因治疗肿瘤增生病理而同时或先前接受放射线或化疗。
