Non-peptidic small molecule inhibitors of XIAP

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2005 Feb 1;15(3):771-5. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.11.010.

Abstract

Non-peptidic small molecule SMAC mimetics were designed and synthesized that bind to the BIR3 domain of XIAP using structure-based design. Substituted five-membered heterocycles such as thiazoles and imidazoles were identified that serve as replacements for peptide fragments of the lead.
