No trivial pursuit! It is not trivial to develop effective small-molecule regulators of protein-protein interactions (PPIs). Moreover, anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family prot eins share similar binding grooves, making it particularly difficult to target them selectively. Despite these challenges, potent and selective inhibitors of individual members of the Bcl-2 family have been successfully developed. Copyright © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
