A SMAC mimetic and pharmaceutical compositions thereof and methods of use.

There is provided a range of novel disulfide bond containing compounds. These disulfide bond containing compounds can be used in a variety of applications such as solid phase peptide synthesis, solid phase organic synthesis, formation of dendrimers, formation of macromolecules and formation cyclic peptides; and as a component of a delivery vehicle with a bioactive molecule.

Disclosed herein are non-natural amino acids and dolastatin analogs that include at least one non-natural amino acid, and methods for making such non-natural amino acids and polypeptides. The dolastatin analogs can include a wide range of possible functionalities, but typically have at least one oxime, carbonyl, dicarbonyl, and/or hydroxylamine group. Also disclosed herein are non-natural amino acid dolastatin analogs that are further modified post-translationally, methods for effecting such modifications, and methods for purifying such dolastatin analogs. Typically, the modified dolastatin analogs include at least one oxime, carbonyl, dicarbonyl, and/or hydroxylamine group. Further disclosed are methods for using such non-natural amino acid dolastatin analogs and modified non-natural amino acid dolastatin analogs, including therapeutic, diagnostic, and other biotechnology use.
