Mcl-1, an anti-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 protein family, is overexpressed in a broad range of human cancers and plays a critical role in conferring resistance to chemotherapy. In the course of screening a natural product-like library of sesquiterpenoid analogs, we identified substituted hexahydronaphthalenes that showed activity against the Mcl-1/BimBH3 interaction in vitro. Here, we describe the synthesis of a small library of analogs and their biological evaluation. The most potent inhibit ...[more]
