Heterocyclic α-helix mimetics for targeting protein–protein interactions

The design and synthesis of α-helix peptidomimetics using inverse electron demand Diels–Alder reactions is described. The potency of the resulting pyridazine-based library to disrupt the Bak/Bcl-XL interaction was tested using an in vitro fluorescence polarization assay.
