Peptide mimetics are becoming increasingly popular pipeline leads for pro-apoptotic cancer drugs. They represent an intriguing way to gain entry to the complex cascades of protein-protein interactions in the cell-death pathway. This is because they can theoretically retain structural and functional properties of native apoptotic proteins, while being small enough to be easily synthesized.
