Abstract

The discovery of new Bcl-2 protein-protein interaction antagonists is described. We replaced the northern fragment of ABT737 (π- π stacking interactions) with structurally simplified hydrophobic cage structures with much reduced conformational flexibility and rotational freedom. The binding mode of the compounds was elucidated by x-ray crystallography, and the compounds showed excellent oral bioavailability and clearance in rat PK studies.
