A successful structure-based design of conformationally constrained second mitochondria-
derived activator of caspase (Smac) mimetics that target the XIAP/caspase-9 interaction site
is described. The most potent Smac mimetic 12d has a K i of 350 nM for binding to the XIAP
BIR3 domain protein. 12d is found to be effective in enhancing apoptosis induced by
cisplatin in PC-3 human prostate cancer cells.
