TD1092 is a pan-IAP degrader, degrades cIAP1, cIAP2, and XIAP

Apoptosis inhibitor proteins (IAP) represent a group of caspases and negative regulators of cell death. Particularly, the IAP protein family prevents cell death by binding to and inhibiting active caspases and is negatively regulated by IAP-binding proteins. In addition to cell death, IAP also acts as an innate immune...

APG-1387, a Bivalent SMAC Mimetic, Induces Proteasomal Degradation of IAPs

Apoptosis protein inhibitors (IAP) are a class of functional and structural proteins, which are endogenous inhibitors of apoptosis. Specifically, inappropriate mutation or regulation will usually lead to cancer or other effects on cells. They include the Bcl-2 family, viral inhibitor crmA, and IAP’s. Besides, the most characteristic of IAAP...

SBP-0636457, a SMAC Mimetic, is an IAP Antagonist

Cancer cells regularly acquire resistance to programmed cell death, or apoptosis, which not only supports cancer progression but also leads to resistance to therapeutic agents. In this study, researchers focus their research on the inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family. IAPs are a disparate group of proteins that all...

LBW242 is a Potent and Orally Active Proapoptotic IAP Inhibitor

Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is a hematologic malignancy. The characteristics include a block in cellular differentiation and aberrant growth of myeloid precursor cells. Approximately 30% of AML patients and a portion of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients express a mutated form of the class III receptor tyrosine kinase, FLT3....
