The Bcl-2 family of proteins plays a major role in the regulation of apoptosis, or programmed cell death. Overexpression of the anti-apoptotic members of this family (Bcl-2, Bcl-x(L), and Mcl-1) can render cancer cells resistant to chemotherapeutic agents and therefore these proteins are important targets for the development of new anti-cancer agents. Here we describe the discovery of a potent, highly selective, Bcl-2 inhibitor using SAR by NMR and structure-based drug design which could serve as a starting point for the development of a Bcl-2 selective anti-cancer agent. Such an agent would potentially overcome the Bcl-x(L) mediated thrombocytopenia observed with ABT-263.
