Abstract: A potent, cell-permeable, conformationally constrained second mitochondria derived activator of caspase mimetic (SM-131, 2) has been designed, synthesized, and evaluated. Compound 2 binds to X-linked inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (XIAP) with a Ki of 61 nM in a competitive binding assay and directly antagonizes the XIAP inhibition of caspase-9 activity in a cell-free functional assay. Compound 2 achieves an IC50 of 100 nM in inhibition of cell growth and effectively induces cell death in the MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell line.
