Description
BV6 is a bivalent Smac mimetic and an antagonist of the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins that binds to IAP1 and XIAP (K
ds = 0.46 and 1.3 nM, respectively). It induces autoubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of IAP1 and XIAP in MDA-MB-231 cells when used at a concentration of 5 μM. BV6 (4 μM) induces NF-κB activation and TNF-dependent apoptosis in A2058 and MDA-MB-231 cells. It enhances radiosensitization and increases apoptosis in HCC193 and H460 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines. BV6 (1 μM) induces cell death in a panel of 40 primary, patient-derived B cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) samples in a TNF-dependent manner.
In vivo, BV6 (10 mg/kg) increases survival and the time to relapse in a high-risk BCP-ALL patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mouse model.
Definition
ChEBI: N,N'-(hexane-1,6-diyl)bis(1-{(2S)-2-cyclohexyl-2-[(N-methyl-L-alanyl)amino]acetyl}-L-prolyl-beta-phenyl-L-phenylalaninamide) is a polyamide consisting of hexane-1,6-diamine having a 1-{(2S)-2-cyclohexyl-2-[(N-methyl-L-alanyl)amino]acetyl}-L-prolyl-beta-phenyl-L-phenylalanyl moiety attached to both nitrogens. It is functionally related to a methyl 1-{(2S)-2-cyclohexyl-2-[(N-methyl-L-alanyl)amino]acetyl}-L-prolyl-beta-phenyl-L-phenylalaninate.
