Molecular mimics of Smac are capable of modulating apoptosis through their interaction with cellular IAPs (inhibitor of apoptosis proteins). The mimetics are based on a monomer or dimer of the N-terminal tetrapeptide of IAP-binding proteins, such as Smac/DIABLO, Hid, Grim and Reaper, which interact with a specific surface groove of LAP. Also disclosed are methods of using these peptidomimetics for therapeutic purposes. In various embodiments of the invention the Smac mimetics of the invention are combined with chemotherapeutic agents, including, but not limited to topoisomerase inhibitors, kinase inbhibitors, NSAIDs, taxanes and platinum containing compounds use broader language
Smac的分子模拟物能够通过与细胞IAPs(凋亡抑制蛋白)的相互作用来调节凋亡。这些模拟物基于IAP结合蛋白的N端四肽单体或二聚体,如Smac/DIABLO、Hid、Grim和Reaper,它们与LAP的特定表面槽相互作用。还公开了利用这些肽类模拟物进行治疗目的的方法。在本发明的各种实施例中,本发明的Smac模拟物与化疗药物结合,包括但不限于拓扑异构酶抑制剂、激酶抑制剂、NSAIDs、紫杉醇和含铂化合物。
