  • Publication number: 20180371021
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes the synthesis of peptidomimetic macrocycles and methods of using peptidomimetic macrocycles to treat a condition. The present disclosure also describes methods of using peptidomimetic macrocycles in combination with at least one additional pharmaceutically-active agent for the treatment of a condition, for example, cancer.

  • Publication number: 20180340009
    Abstract: The disclosed peptidomimetic macrocycles modulate the activity of MCL-1. Myeloid cell leukemia 1 (MCL-1) is a protein that inhibits cell death. Peptidomimetic macrocycles, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods disclosed herein can be used for the treatment of disease in which MCL-1 is over-expressed, such as cancer. In particular, MCL-1-modulating peptidomimetic macrocycles disclosed herein can be applied in the setting of resistance to BCL-2 family inhibitors, which is often engendered by MCL-1 over-expression or hyper-activation.

  • Publication number: 20180273587
    Abstract: The disclosed peptidomimetic macrocycles modulate the activity of BFL-1 or a BCL-2 family protein. BFL-1, an anti-apoptotic BCL-2 family member, blocks p53-mediated apoptosis and has oncogenic transforming activity. Peptidomimetic macrocycles, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods disclosed herein can be used for the treatment of disease in which BFL-1 or a BCL-2 family protein is over-expressed, such as cancer. In particular, BFL-1-modulating or a BCL-2 family protein-modulating peptidomimetic macrocycles disclosed herein can be applied in the setting of resistance to BCL-2 family inhibitors, which is often engendered by BFL-1 or BCL-2 family protein over-expression or hyper-activation.

  • Publication number: 20170281720
    Abstract: Provided herein are peptidomimetic macrocycles containing amino acid sequences with at least two modified amino acids that form an intramolecular cross-link that can help to stabilize a secondary structure of the amino acid sequence. Suitable sequences for stabilization include those with homology to the p53 protein. These sequences can bind to the MDM2 and/or MDMX proteins. Also provided herein are methods of using such macrocycles for the treatment of diseases and disorders, such as cancers or other disorders characterized by a low level or low activity of a p53 protein or high level of activity of a MDM2 and/or MDMX protein.
