Structure-based identification of a new IAP-targeting compound that induces cancer cell death inducing NF-κB pathway

Inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) are validated onco-targets, as their overexpression correlates with cancer onset, progression, diffusion and chemoresistance. IAPs regulate cell death survival pathways, inflammation, and immunity. Targeting IAPs, by impairing their protein–protein interaction...
