  • Publication number: 20140243331
    Abstract: This invention describes the development of targeted small molecule inhibitors of the inv(16) fusion, the causative agent in ˜12% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The inv(16) fusion results in expression of the CBF?-SMMHC fusion protein in the blood cells of afflicted patients. The present invention provides compounds which inhibit the function of both CBF? and the CBF?-SMMHC fusion. These compounds block the growth of an inv(16) leukemia cell line as well as increase its apoptosis, while showing minimal effects against non inv(16) cell lines. As a mechanism to develop inhibitors with selectivity for the CBF?-SMMHC fusion protein, the present invention further provides dimeric derivatives of these compounds which show both increased potency as well as selectivity for CBF?-SMMHC. These compounds show potent inhibition of an inv(16) leukemia cell line with minimal effects on non inv(16) cell lines.

  • Patent number: 8815927
    Abstract: The invention relates to diazo bicyclic Smac mimetics that are tethered through a covalent linker to give a bivalent species. Bivalent diazo bicyclic Smac mimetics function as inhibitors of Inhibitor of Apoptosis Proteins (IAPs). The invention also relates to the use of bivalent diazo bicyclic Smac mimetics for inducing or sensitizing cells to the induction of apoptotic cell death. Thus, compounds of the invention are useful in the treatment, amelioration, or prevention of hyperproliferative diseases such as cancer.
