Antagonist Comments
AZD5582 is a peptide mimetic. It consists of a dimeric structure, with sequences based on the AVPI motif of DIABLO (aka Smac; Q9NR28). DIABLO is a peptide of mitochondrial origin and is an endogenous pro-apoptotic antagonist of IAP protein function.

Immunopharmacology Comments
Mouse experiments suggest that XIAP regulates innate immune responses (to Listeria monocytogenes infection) by potentiating synergy between Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and NOD-like receptors (NLRs) through activation of JNK- and NF-κB-dependent signaling [2].

Xiap null mice have an impaired innate immune control of Listeria monocytogenes infection.

References:  2
Xiap null mice develop normally and have no overt defect in apoptotic function. They do however, upregulate expression of the related IAPs, cIAP1 and cIAP2, potentially as a compensatory mechanism in the absence of Xiap protein..

General Comments
XIAP binds directly to the key apoptotic proteases, caspase 3, 7 and 9 [6] and may be the only bona fide caspase inhibitor in this protein family [8]. Caspases 3 and 7 are executioner caspases involved in the effector arm of apoptosis [14]. Binding interaction occurs between the BIR2 (second baculovirus IAP repeat) domain of XIAP and the active-site substrate groove of these caspases [8]. The interaction with caspase 9 occurs via the third BIR domain [5,17].
