Abstract:
:Inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) are promising anticancer targets, given their roles in the evasion of apoptosis. Several peptidomimetic IAP antagonists, with inherent selectivity for cellular IAP (cIAP) over X-linked IAP (XIAP), have been tested in the clinic. A fragment screening approach followed by structure-based optimization has previously been reported that resulted in a low-nanomolar cIAP1 and XIAP antagonist lead molecule with a more balanced cIAP-XIAP profile. We now report the further structure-guided optimization of the lead, with a view to improving the metabolic stability and cardiac safety profile, to give the nonpeptidomimetic antagonist clinical candidate 27 (ASTX660), currently being tested in a phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT02503423).
