Mimicry of two faces of an α-helix might yield more potent and more selective inhibitors of aberrant, helix-mediated protein-protein interactions (PPI). Herein, we demonstrate that a 2,6,9-tri-substituted purine is capable of disrupting the Mcl-1-Bak-BH3 PPI through effective mimicry of key residues on opposing faces of the Bak-BH3 α-helix. ...[more]
