Abstract:
:Designed second mitochondrial activator of caspases (Smac) mimetics based on an accessible [7,5]-bicyclic scaffold bind to and antagonize protein interactions involving the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins, X-chromosome-linked IAP (XIAP), melanoma IAP (ML-IAP), and c-IAPs 1 and 2 (cIAP1 and cIAP2). The design rationale is based on a combination of phage-panning data, peptide binding studies, and a survey of potential isosteres. The synthesis of two scaffolds is described. These compounds bind the XIAP-baculoviral IAP repeat 3 (BIR3), cIAP1-BIR3, cIAP2-BIR3, and ML-IAP-BIR domains with submicromolar affinities. The most potent Smac mimetic binds the cIAP1-BIR3 and ML-IAP-BIR domains with a K i of 50 nM. The X-ray crystal structure of this compound bound to an ML-IAP/XIAP chimeric BIR domain protein is compared with that of a complex with a phage-derived tetrapeptide, AVPW. The structures show that these compounds bind to the Smac-binding site on ML-IAP with identical hydrogen-bonding patterns and similar hydrophobic interactions. Consistent with the structural data, coimmunoprecipitation experiments demonstrate that the compounds can effectively block Smac interactions with ML-IAP. The compounds are further demonstrated to activate caspase-3 and -7, to reduce cell viability in assays using MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and A2058 melanoma cells, and to enhance doxorubicin-induced apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells.
