Design, synthesis, and biological activities of novel hexahydropyrazino [1, 2-a] indole derivatives as potent inhibitors of apoptosis (IAP) proteins antagonists with …
Abstract We previously reported octahydropyrrolo [1, 2-a] pyrazine derivative 2 (T-3256336) as a potent antagonist for inhibitors of apoptosis (IAP) proteins. Because compound 2 was susceptible to MDR1 mediated efflux, we developed another scaffold, hexahydropyrazino [1, 2-a] indole, using structure-based drug design. The fused benzene ring of this scaffold was aimed at increasing the lipophilicity and decreasing the basicity of the scaffold to improve ...
