About Birinapant
Birinapant (TL32711) is a potent, bivalent SMAC mimetic that binds with differential affinity to multiple members of the IAP family including cIAP1, cIAP2, XIAP, and ML-IAP. Birinapant is differentiated from other SMAC mimetics in that it results in the selective degradation of cIAP1 bound to TRAF-2 in the TNF receptor complex, sparing non-TRAF-2 bound cIAP2. This unique IAP antagonism profile of birinapant may result in the improved tolerability and therapeutic index observed with this agent.
