Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibition by modulation of the N-or C-terminal binding site has become an attractive strategy for the development of anti-cancer chemotherapeutics. The first Hsp90 C-terminus inhibitor, novobiocin, manifested a relatively high IC50 value of ~700 μM. Therefore, investigation of the novobiocin scaffold has led to analogs with improved antiproliferative activity (nanomolar concentrations) against several cancer cell lines. During these studies, novobiocin analogs that do not inhibit Hsp90 were identified; however, these analogs demonstrated potent anti-proliferative activity. Compound 2, a novobiocin analog, was identified as a MAPK pathway signaling disruptor that lacked Hsp90 inhibitory activity. In addition, structural modifications of compound 2 were identified that segregated Hsp90 inhibition from MAPK signaling disruption. These studies indicate that compound 2 represents a novel scaffold for disruption of MAPK pathway signaling and may serve as a useful structure for the generation of new anti-cancer agents.
