Small molecule BH3-mimetics that mimic the BH3 binding domain of proapoptotic proteins such as Bad have been found to be effective inducers of apoptosis, and at least one such BH3-mimetic, ABT-199, has been entered into clinical trials for treatment of multiple myeloma, as well as for lymphomas and leukemias (Correia et al., 2015). This evidence concerns the gene BAD and lymphoma.
