To develop novel inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins antagonists, we designed a bicyclic octahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine scaffold as a novel proline bioisostere. This design was based on the X-ray co-crystal structure of four N-terminal amino acid residues (AVPI) of the second mitochondria-derived activator of caspase (Smac) with the X-chromosome-linked IAP (XIAP) protein ...
