Herein we describe the discovery of A-1331852, a first-in-class orally active BCL-X<sub>L</sub> inhibitor that selectively and potently induces apoptosis in BCL-X<sub>L</sub>-dependent tumor cells. This molecule was generated by re-engineering our previously reported BCL-X<sub>L</sub> inhibitor A-1155463 using structure-based drug design. Key design elements included rigidification of the A-1155463 pharmacophore and introduction of sp<sup>3</sup>-rich moieties capable of generating highly produc ...[more]
