, (2013/10/08)
This disclosure features compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof that inhibit MCL-1 and/or BFL-1/A1 and compositions containing the same. This disclosure also features combinations that include one or more of the MCL-1/BFL-1/A1 inhibitor compounds described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and one or more additional therapeutic agents (e.g., one or more chemotherapeutic agents (including small molecule and/or anti-body based chemotherapy and/or radiation); e.g., one or more therapeutic agents that modulate apoptosis; e.g., one or more therapeutic agents that bind to and inhibit anti-apoptotic proteins or modulate them indirectly; e.g., one or more therapeutic agents that bind to and inhibit, or indirectly modulate, anti-apoptotic BCL-2, BCL-XL, BCL-w, MCL-1, and/or BFL-1/A1; e.g., one or more therapeutic agents that directly bind to and inhibit anti-apoptotic BCL-2 / BCL-XL; e.g., agents such as ABT-199, ABT-263 and ABT-737; e.g., ABT-737), or (where applicable) a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the one or more therapeutic agents (as well as compositions containing the same). Also featured are methods of using such compounds, salts, combinations, and compositions, e.g., for the treatment or prevention of diseases, disorders, and conditions associated with deregulated apoptosis of cells (e.g., diseased or damaged cells; e.g., insufficient apoptosis of diseased or damaged cells or reduced apoptosis of diseased or damaged cells)..
