Abstract: Mcl-1, an anti-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 protein family, is overexpressed in a broad range of human cancers and plays a critical role in conferring resistance to chemotherapy. In the course of screening a natural product-like library of sesquiterpenoid analogs, we identified substituted hexahydronaphthalenes that showed activity against the Mcl-1/BimBH3 interaction in vitro. Here, we describe the synthesis of a small library of analogs and their biological evaluation. The most potent inhibitor in the series (19) exhibits an IC(50) of 8.3 μM by ELISA and disrupts the interaction between endogenously expressed Mcl-1 and Bim in cultured MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells.
