2JK7 - PubMed Abstract: 
Small molecules designed to mimic the binding of Smac protein to X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) are being pursued as a promising new class of anticancer drugs. Herein, we report the design, synthesis, and comprehensive structure-activity relationship studies of a series of conformationally constrained bicyclic Smac mimetics ...
