The Bioinformatics & Molecular Design Research Center Mass Spectral Library - Natural Products (BMDMS-NP) is a library containing the mass spectra of natural compounds, especially plant specialized metabolites. At present, the library contains the electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) spectra of 2739 plant metabolites that are commercially available. The contents of the library were made comprehensive by incorporating data generated under various experimental conditions for compounds with diverse molecular structures.

X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) is an important regulator of cancer cell survival whose BIR3 domain (XIAP-BIR3) recognizes the Smac N-terminal tetrapeptide sequence (AVPI), making it an attractive protein-protein interaction (PPI) target for cancer therapies. We used the fragment molecular orbital (FMO) method to study the binding modes and affinities between XIAP-BIR3 and a series of its inhibitors (- that mimic the AVPI binding motif; the inhibitors had common interactions with key residues in a hot spot region of XIAP-BIR3 (P1-P4 subpockets) with increased binding affinity mainly attributed to specific interactions with the P1 and P4 subpockets. Based on the structural information from FMO results, we proposed a novel XIAP natural product inhibitor, neoeriocitrin , which was derived from our preciously reported XIAP-BIR3 inhibitor , can be used as a highly potent candidate for XIAP-BIR3 inhibition.
