Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) plays a crucial role in cancer cell growth and metastasis by stabilizing overexpressed signaling proteins. Inhibiting HSP90 has emerged as a promising anti-cancer strategy. In this study, we aimed to develop and characterize a HSP90-targeted molecular imaging probe, [64Cu]Cu-DOTA-BDA-GM, based on a specific HSP90 inhibitor, geldanamycin (GM), for PET imaging of cancers. GM is modified at the C-17 position with 1,4-butane-diamine (BDA) and linked to 1,4,7,10-Tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) for 64Cu radiolabeling. We evaluated the probe's specific binding to HSP90-expressing cells using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and breast cancer cells including MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-435S, MCF7, and KR-BR-3 cell lines. A competition study with non-radioactive GM-BDA yielded an IC50 value of 1.35 ± 0.14 nM, underscoring the probe's affinity for HSP90. In xenograft models of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer, [64Cu]Cu-DOTA-BDA-GM showcased targeted tumor localization, with significant radioactivity observed up to 18 h post-injection. Blocking studies using unlabeled GM-BDA and treatment with the anticancer drug Vorinostat (SAHA), which can affect the expression and activity of numerous proteins, such as HSPs, confirmed the specificity and sensitivity of the probe in cancer targeting. Additionally, PET/CT imaging in a lung metastasis mouse model revealed increased lung uptake of [64Cu]Cu-DOTA-BDA-GM in metastatic sites, significantly higher than in non-metastatic lungs, illustrating the probe's ability to detect metastatic breast cancer. In conclusion, [64Cu]Cu-DOTA-BDA-GM represents a sensitive and specific approach for identifying HSP90 expression in breast cancer and metastases, offering promising implications for clinical diagnosis and monitoring.

Abstract
Induced fit- (IF) and conformational selection (CS) binding mechanisms have long been regarded to be mutually exclusive. Yet, they are now increasingly considered to produce the final ligand-target complex alongside within a thermodynamic cycle. This viewpoint benefited from the introduction of binding fluxes as a tool for analyzing the overall behavior of such cycle. This study aims to provide more vivid and applicable insights into this emerging field. In this respect, combining differential equation- based simulations and hitherto little explored alternative modes of calculation provide concordant information about the intricate workings of such cycle. In line with previous reports, we observe that the relative contribution of IF increases with the ligand concentration at equilibrium. Yet the baseline contribution may vary from one case to another and simulations as well as calculations show that this parameter is essentially regulated by the dissociation rate of both pathways. Closer attention should be paid to how the contributions of IF and CS compare at physiologically relevant drug/ligand concentrations. To this end, a simple equation discloses how changing a limited set of "microscopic" rate constants can extend the concentration range at which CS contributes most effectively. Finally, it could also be beneficial to extend the utilization of flux- based approaches to more physiologically relevant time scales and alternative binding models.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are molecular chaperones that also play important roles in the activation of the heat shock response (HSR). The HSR is an evolutionary conserved and protective mechanism that is used to counter abnormal physiological conditions, stressors, and disease states, such as those exemplified in cancer and/or neurodegeneration. In normal cells, heat shock factor-1 (HSF-1), the transcription factor that regulates the HSR, remains in a dormant multiprotein complex that is formed upon association with chaperones (Hsp90, Hsp70, etc.), co-chaperones, and client proteins. However, under cellular stress, HSF-1 dissociates from Hsp90 and induces the transcriptional upregulation of Hsp70 to afford protection against the encountered cellular stress. As a consequence of both peripheral and central neuropathies, cellular stress occurs and results in the accumulation of unfolded and/or misfolded proteins, which can be counterbalanced by activation of the HSR. Since Hsp90 is the primary regulator of the HSR, modulation of Hsp90 by small molecules represents an attractive therapeutic approach against both peripheral and central neuropathies.

Abstract
Mutasynthetic supplementation of the AHBA blocked mutant strain of S. hygroscopicus, the geldanamycin producer, with 21 aromatic and heteroaromatic amino acids provided new nonquinoid geldanamycin derivatives. Large scale (5 L) fermentation provided four new derivatives in sufficient quantity for full structural characterisation. Among these, the first thiophene derivative of reblastatin showed strong antiproliferative activity towards several human cancer cell lines. Additionally, inhibitory effects on human heat shock protein Hsp90α and bacterial heat shock protein from H. pylori HpHtpG were observed, revealing strong displacement properties for labelled ATP and demonstrating that the ATP-binding site of Hsps is the target site for the new geldanamycin derivatives.

Abstract
Thirteen new reblastatin derivatives, with alkynyl, amino and fluoro substituents on the aromatic ring, were prepared by a chemo-biosynthetic approach using an AHBA(-) mutant strain of Streptomyces hygroscopicus, the geldanamycin producer. The inhibitory potencies of these mutaproducts and of an extended library of natural products and derivatives were probed with purified heat shock proteins (Hsps), obtained from Leishmania braziliensis (LbHsp90) as well as from human sources (HsHsp90). We determined the activities of potential inhibitors by means of a displacement assay in which fluorescence-labelled ATP competes for the ATP binding sites of Hsps in the presence of the inhibitor in question. The results were compared with those of cell-based assays and, in selected cases, of isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) measurements. In essence, reblastatin derivatives are also able to bind effectively to the ATP-binding site of LbHsp90, and for selected derivatives, moderate differences in binding to LbHsp90 and HsHsp90 were encountered. This work demonstrates that parasitic heat shock proteins can be developed as potential pharmaceutical targets.

Abstract
HSP90 chaperones are essential regulators of cellular function, as they ensure the appropriate conformation of multiple key client proteins. Four HSP90 isoforms were identified in the protozoan parasite Theileria annulata. Partial characterization was undertaken for three and localization confirmed for cytoplasmic (TA12105), endoplasmic reticulum (TA06470), and apicoplast (TA10720) forms. ATPase activity and binding to the HSP90 inhibitor geldanamycin were demonstrated for recombinant TA12105, and all three native forms could be isolated to varying extents by binding to geldanamycin beads. Because it is essential, HSP90 is considered a potential therapeutic drug target. Resistance to the only specific Theileriacidal drug is increasing, and one challenge for design of drugs that target the parasite is to limit the effect on the host. An in vitro cell culture system that allows comparison between uninfected bovine cells and the T. annulata‐infected counterpart was utilized to test the effects of geldanamycin and the derivative 17‐AAG. T. annulata‐infected cells had greater tolerance to geldanamycin than uninfected cells yet exhibited significantly more sensitivity to 17‐AAG. These findings suggest that parasite HSP90 isoform(s) can alter the drug sensitivity of infected host cells and that members of the Theileria HSP90 family are potential targets worthy of further investigation.

Abstract
Geldanamycin is a natural product with well-established and potent anti-cancer activities. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is the known target of geldanamycin, which directly binds to Hsp90's N-terminal ATP binding domain and inhibits Hsp90's ATPase activity. The affinity of geldanamycin for Hsp90 has been measured in multiple studies. However, there have been large discrepancies between the reported dissociation constants (i.e., Kd values), which have ranged from low nanomolar to micromolar. Here the stability of proteins from rates of oxidation (SPROX) technique was used in combination with an isobaric mass tagging strategy to measure the binding affinity of geldanamycin to unpurified Hsp90 in an MCF-7 cell lysate. The Kd values determined here were dependent on how long geldanamycin was equilibrated with the lysate prior to SPROX analysis. The Kd values determined using equilibration times of 0.5 and 24 h were 1 and 0.03 μM, respectively. These Kd values, which are similar to those previously reported in a geldanamycin-Hsp90 binding study that involved the use of a fluorescently labeled geldanamycin analogue, establish that the slow-tight binding behavior previously observed for the fluorescently labeled geldanamycin analogue is not an artifact of the fluorescent label, but rather an inherent property of the geldanamycin-Hsp90 binding interaction. The slow-tight binding property of this complex may be related to time-dependent conformational changes in Hsp90 and/or to time-dependent chemical changes in geldanamycin, both of which have been previously proposed to explain the slow-tight binding behavior of the geldanamycin-Hsp90 complex.

Abstract
The 90 kDa heat shock proteins (Hsp90) are responsible for the conformational maturation of nascent polypeptides and the rematuration of denatured proteins. Proteins dependent upon Hsp90 are associated with all six hallmarks of cancer. Upon Hsp90 inhibition, protein substrates are degraded via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Consequentially, inhibition of Hsp90 offers a therapeutic opportunity for the treatment of cancer. Natural product inhibitors of Hsp90 have been identified in vitro, which have served as leads for the development of more efficacious inhibitors and analogs that have entered clinical trials. This review highlights the development of natural product analogs, as well as the development of clinically important inhibitors that arose from natural products.

Abstract
Supramolecular nanomaterials responsive to specific intracellular proteins should be greatly promising for protein sensing and imaging, controlled drug release or dynamic regulation of cellular processes. However, valid design strategies to create useful probes are poorly developed, particularly for proteins inside living cells as targets. We recently reported a unique supramolecular strategy for specific protein detection using self-assembling fluorescent probes consisting of a protein ligand and a fluorophore on the live cell surface, as well as in test tube settings. Herein, we discovered that our self-assembled supramolecular probes having a rhodamine derivative (tetramethylrhodamine or rhodamine-green) can incorporate and stay as less-fluorescent aggregates inside the living cells, so as to sense the protein activity in a reversible manner. Using the overexpressed model protein (dihydrofolate reductase), we demonstrated that this turn-on/off mode is controlled by selective ligand-protein recognition inside the live cells. Not only such a model protein, but also endogenous human carbonic anhydrase and heat shock protein 90 were specifically visualized in living mammalian cells, by use of the similar ligand-tethered supramolecular probes. Furthermore, such reversibility allowed us to intracellularly construct a unique system to evaluate the inhibitors affinity toward specific endogenous proteins in live cells, highlighting the potential of dynamic supramolecules as novel intelligent biomaterials.

Abstract
Retaspimycin hydrochloride (IPI-504), an Hsp90 (heat shock protein 90) inhibitor, has shown activity in multiple preclinical cancer models, such as lung, breast and ovarian cancers. However, its biological effects in gliomas and normal brain derived cellular populations remain unknown. In this study, we profiled the expression pattern of Hsp90α/β mRNA in stable glioma cell lines, multiple glioma-derived primary cultures and human neural stem/progenitor cells. The effects of IPI-504 on cell proliferation, apoptosis, motility and expression of Hsp90 client proteins were evaluated in glioma cell lines. In vivo activity of IPI-504 was investigated in subcutaneous glioma xenografts. Our results showed Hsp90α and Hsp90β expression levels to be patient-specific, higher in high-grade glioma-derived primary cells than in low-grade glioma-derived primary cells, and strongly correlated with CD133 expression and differentiation status of cells. Hsp90 inhibition by IPI-504 induced apoptosis, blocked migration and invasion, and significantly decreased epidermal growth factor receptor levels, mitogen-activated protein kinase and/or Akt activities, and secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor in glioma cell lines. In vivo study showed that IPI-504 could mildly attenuate tumor growth in immunocompromised mice. These findings suggest that targeting Hsp90 by IPI-504 has the potential to become an active therapeutic strategy in gliomas in a selective group of patients, but further research into combination therapies is still needed.

Abstract
PURPOSE Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is required for the proper folding, function, and stability of various client proteins, two of which (KIT and PDGFRα) are critical in the pathogenesis and progression of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). This phase I study investigated the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of retaspimycin hydrochloride (IPI-504), a novel potent and selective HSP90 inhibitor, in patients with metastatic and/or unresectable GIST or other soft-tissue sarcomas (STS). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN IPI-504 was administered intravenously at doses ranging from 90 to 500 mg/m(2) twice weekly for 2 weeks on/1 week off. Safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic profiles were determined. Response was assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.0 and optionally via 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18-FDG-PET) imaging. RESULTS Fifty-four patients received IPI-504; 37 with GIST and 17 with other STS. The MTD was 400 mg/m(2) twice weekly for 2 weeks on/1 week off. Common related adverse events were fatigue (59%), headache (44%), and nausea (43%). Exposure to IPI-504, 17-AAG, and 17-AG increased with IPI-504 dose. Stable disease (SD) was observed in 70% (26 of 37) of patients with GIST and 59% (10 of 17) of patients with STS. There was one confirmed partial response (PR) in a patient with GIST and one PR in a patient with liposarcoma. Metabolic partial responses occurred in 11 of 29 (38%) patients with GIST. CONCLUSIONS In this study of advanced GIST or other STS, IPI-504 was generally well-tolerated with some evidence of antitumor activity, serving as a clinical proof-of-concept that HSP90 inhibition remains a promising strategy.

Abstract
A series of 3-aryl-naphtho[2,3-d]isoxazole-4,9-diones and some of their 6-aza analogues were synthesized and found to inhibit the heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). The compounds were tested for their binding to Hsp90 and for their effects on Hsp90 client proteins expression in a series of human tumour cell lines. Representative compounds (7f, 10c) downregulated the Hsp90 client proteins EGFR, Akt, Cdk4, Raf-1, and survivin, and upregulated Hsp70. Most of the compounds, in particular the alkylated 3-pyridyl derivatives, exhibited potent antiproliferative activity, down to two-digit nanomolar range. Preliminary results indicated in vivo activity of 7f against human epithelial carcinoma A431 model growing as tumour xenograft in nude mice, thus supporting the therapeutic potential of this novel series of Hsp90 inhibitors.

Abstract
A ubiquitously expressed chaperone, heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is of considerable interest as an oncology target because tumor cells and oncogenic proteins are acutely dependent on its activity. AT13387 (2,4-dihydroxy-5-isopropyl-phenyl)-[5-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-ylmethyl)-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl] methanone, l-lactic acid salt) a novel, high-affinity HSP90 inhibitor, which is currently being clinically tested, has shown activity against a wide array of tumor cell lines, including lung cancer cell lines. This inhibitor has induced the degradation of specific HSP90 client proteins for up to 7 days in tumor cell lines in vitro. The primary driver of cell growth (mutant epidermal growth factor receptors) was particularly sensitive to HSP90 inhibition. The long duration of client protein knockdown and suppression of phospho-signaling seen in vitro after treatment with AT13387 was also apparent in vivo, with client proteins and phospho-signaling suppressed for up to 72 h in xenograft tumors after treatment with a single dose of AT13387. Pharmacokinetic analyses indicated that while AT13387 was rapidly cleared from blood, its retention in tumor xenografts was markedly extended, and it was efficacious in a range of xenograft models. AT13387's long duration of action enabled, in particular, its efficacious once weekly administration in human lung carcinoma xenografts. The use of longer-acting HSP90 inhibitors, such as AT13387, on less frequent dosing regimens has the potential to maintain antitumor efficacy as well as minimize systemic exposure and unwanted effects on normal tissues.

Abstract
Previous work demonstrated that NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) metabolized the heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor 17-(allylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17AAG) to the corresponding hydroquinone (17AAGH₂). The formation of 17AAGH₂ by NQO1 results in a molecule that binds with greater affinity to Hsp90 compared with the parent quinone. 17AAG induced substantial growth inhibition in human pancreatic cancer cell lines expressing NQO1. Growth inhibition induced by 17AAG could be reduced by pretreatment with 5-methoxy-1,2-dimethyl-3-[(4-nitrophenoxy)methyl]-indole-4,7-dione (ES936), a mechanism-based inhibitor of NQO1. After treatment with 17AAG, biomarkers of Hsp90 inhibition, including markers of cell-cycle arrest, were more pronounced in NQO1-expressing cells compared with NQO1-null cells. The intracellular concentrations of 17AAG and 17AAGH₂ were measured in human pancreatic cancer cells, and it was observed that larger amounts of 17AAG and 17AAGH₂ could be detected in cells with catalytically active NQO1 compared with cells lacking NQO1 activity or cells pretreated with ES936. These data demonstrate that, in addition to generating an inhibitor with greater affinity for Hsp90 (17AAGH₂), reduction of 17AAG to 17AAGH₂ by NQO1 leads to substantially greater intracellular concentrations of 17AAG and 17AAGH₂. In addition, oxidation of 17AAGH₂ could be prevented by superoxide dismutase (SOD), demonstrating that 17AAGH₂ was sensitive to oxidation by superoxide. Stable transfection of manganese-dependent SOD into MiaPaCa-2 cells resulted in a significantly greater intracellular concentration of 17AAGH₂ with a corresponding increase in growth inhibitory activity. These data confirm the role of NQO1 in sensitivity to 17AAG and demonstrate that SOD functions in conjunction with NQO1 to maintain intracellular levels of 17AAGH₂, the active Hsp90 inhibitor derived from 17AAG.

Abstract
Several Hsp90 (heat shock protein 90) inhibitors are currently under clinical evaluation as anticancer agents. However, the correlation between the duration and magnitude of Hsp90 inhibition and the downstream effects on client protein degradation and cancer cell growth inhibition has not been thoroughly investigated. To investigate the relationship between Hsp90 inhibition and cellular effects, we developed a method that measures drug occupancy on Hsp90 after treatment with the Hsp90 inhibitor IPI-504 in living cells and in tumor xenografts. In cells, we find the level of Hsp90 occupancy to be directly correlated with cell growth inhibition. At the molecular level, the relationship between Hsp90 occupancy and Hsp90 client protein degradation was examined for different client proteins. For sensitive Hsp90 clients (e.g. HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2), client protein levels directly mirror Hsp90 occupancy at all time points after IPI-504 administration. For insensitive client proteins, we find that protein abundance matches Hsp90 occupancy only after prolonged incubation with drug. Additionally, we investigate the correlation between plasma pharmacokinetics (PK), tumor PK, pharmacodynamics (PD) (client protein degradation), tumor growth inhibition, and Hsp90 occupancy in a xenograft model of human cancer. Our results indicate Hsp90 occupancy to be a better predictor of PD than either plasma PK or tumor PK. In the nonsmall cell lung cancer xenograft model studied, a linear correlation between Hsp90 occupancy and tumor growth inhibition was found. This novel binding assay was evaluated both in vitro and in vivo and could be used as a pharmacodynamic readout in the clinic.

Abstract
A full account of an asymmetric synthesis of reblastatin (1) and the first total synthesis of autolytimycin (2) and related structural compounds is described. The syntheses expand the utility of a highly regio- and diastereoselective hydrometalation aldehyde addition sequence to assemble the fully functionalized ansa chain of the natural products. Also documented is an intramolecular copper-mediated amidation reaction to close the 19-membered macrolactams. The amidation reaction was also employed for the generation of structural derivatives (6-9) of phenolic ansamycins. Ansamycin natural products and selected structural analogues were evaluated in a competitive binding assay to breast cancer cell lysate and a cytotoxicity assay. Both reblastatin (1) and autolytimycin (2) were shown to bind the heat shock protein 90 with enhanced binding activity (approximately 25 nM) than 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG, 4), a geldanamycin (3) derivative currently under evaluation for treatment of cancer (approximately 100 nM).

Abstract
Proteins carry out important functions as they fold themselves. Protein misfolding occurs during different biochemical processes and may lead to the development of diseases such as cancer, which is characterized by genetic instability. The cancer microenvironment exposes malignant cells to a variety of stressful conditions that may further promote protein misfolding. Tumor development and progression often arises from mutations that interfere with the appropriate function of tumor-suppressor proteins and oncogenes. These may be due to alteration of catalytic activity of the protein, loss of binding sites for effector proteins or alterations of the native folded protein conformation. Src family kinases, p53, mTOR and C-terminus of HSC70 interacting protein (CHIPs) are some examples associated with protein misfolding and tumorigenesis. Molecular chaperones, such as heat-shock protein (HSP)70 and HSP90, assist protein folding and recognize target misfolded proteins for degradation. It is likely that this misfolding in cancer is linked by common principles, and may, therefore, present an exciting possibility to identify common targets for therapeutic intervention. Here we aim to review a number of examples that show how alterations in the folding of tumor-suppressor proteins or oncogenes lead to tumorigenesis. The possibility of targeting the targets to repair or degrade protein misfolding in cancer therapy is discussed.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a highly conserved molecular chaperone that facilitates the maturation of a wide range of proteins (known as clients). Clients are enriched in signal transducers, including kinases and transcription factors. Therefore, HSP90 regulates diverse cellular functions and exerts marked effects on normal biology, disease and evolutionary processes. Recent structural and functional analyses have provided new insights on the transcriptional and biochemical regulation of HSP90 and the structural dynamics it uses to act on a diverse client repertoire. Comprehensive understanding of how HSP90 functions promises not only to provide new avenues for therapeutic intervention, but to shed light on fundamental biological questions.

Abstract
PURPOSE In Hodgkin's lymphoma, constitutive activation of NF-kappaB promotes tumor cell survival and proliferation. The molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) has immune regulatory activity and supports the activation of NF-kappaB in Hodgkin's lymphoma cells. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We analyzed the effect of HSP90 inhibition on viability and NF-kappaB activity in Hodgkin's lymphoma cells and the consequences for their recognition and killing through natural killer (NK) cells. RESULTS The novel orally administrable HSP90 inhibitor BIIB021 (CNF2024) inhibited Hodgkin's lymphoma cell viability at low nanomolar concentrations in synergy with doxorubicin and gemcitabine. Annexin V/7-aminoactinomycin D binding assay revealed that BIIB021 selectively induced cell death in Hodgkin's lymphoma cells but not in lymphocytes from healthy individuals. We observed that BIIB021 inhibited the constitutive activity of NF-kappaB and this was independent of IkappaB mutations. Furthermore, we analyzed the effect of HSP90 inhibition on NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity. BIIB021 induced the expression of ligands for the activating NK cell receptor NKG2D on Hodgkin's lymphoma cells resulting in an increased susceptibility to NK cell-mediated killing. In a xenograft model of Hodgkin's lymphoma, HSP90 inhibition significantly delayed tumor growth. CONCLUSIONS HSP90 inhibition has direct antitumor activity in Hodgkin's lymphoma in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, HSP90 inhibition may sensitize Hodgkin's lymphoma cells for NK cell-mediated killing via up-regulation of ligands engaging activating NK cell receptors.

Abstract
The analysis of tight protein-ligand binding reactions by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and thermal shift assay (TSA) is presented. The binding of radicicol to the N-terminal domain of human heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90alphaN) and the binding of ethoxzolamide to human carbonic anhydrase (hCAII) were too strong to be measured accurately by direct ITC titration and therefore were measured by displacement ITC and by observing the temperature-denaturation transitions of ligand-free and ligand-bound protein. Stabilization of both proteins by their ligands was profound, increasing the melting temperature by more than 10 masculineC, depending on ligand concentration. Analysis of the melting temperature dependence on the protein and ligand concentrations yielded dissociation constants equal to 1 nM and 2 nM for Hsp90alphaN-radicicol and hCAII-ethoxzolamide, respectively. The ligand-free and ligand-bound protein fractions melt separately, and two melting transitions are observed. This phenomenon is especially pronounced when the ligand concentration is equal to about half the protein concentration. The analysis compares ITC and TSA data, accounts for two transitions and yields the ligand binding constant and the parameters of protein stability, including the Gibbs free energy and the enthalpy of unfolding.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that the DNA gyrase inhibitor, novobiocin, binds to a previously unrecognized ATP-binding site located at the C-terminus of Hsp90 and induces degradation of Hsp90-dependent client proteins at approximately 700 microM. As a result of these studies, several analogues of the coumarin family of antibiotics have been reported and shown to exhibit increased Hsp90 inhibitory activity; however, the monomeric species lacked the ability to manifest anti-proliferative activity against cancer cell lines at concentrations tested. In an effort to develop more efficacious compounds that produce growth inhibitory activity against cancer cell lines, structure-activity relationships were investigated surrounding the prenylated benzamide side chain of the natural product. Results obtained from these studies have produced the first novobiocin analogues that manifest anti-proliferative activity against several cancer cell lines.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) plays a central role in signal transduction and has emerged as a promising target for anti-cancer therapeutics, but its molecular mechanism is poorly understood. At physiological concentration, Hsp90 predominantly forms dimers, but the function of full-length monomers in cells is not clear. Hsp90 contains three domains: the N-terminal and middle domains contribute directly to ATP binding and hydrolysis and the C domain mediates dimerization. To study the function of Hsp90 monomers, we used a single-chain strategy that duplicated the C-terminal dimerization domain. This novel monomerization strategy had the dual effect of stabilizing the C domain to denaturation and hindering intermolecular association of the ATPase domain. The resulting construct was predominantly monomeric at physiological concentration and did not function to support yeast viability as the sole Hsp90. The monomeric construct was also defective at ATP hydrolysis and the activation of a kinase and steroid receptor substrate in yeast cells. The ability to support yeast growth was rescued by the addition of a coiled-coil dimerization domain, indicating that the parental single-chain construct is functionally defective because it is monomeric.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone that is required for the maturation and activation of a number of client proteins, many of which are involved in cancer development. The ansamycin family of natural products and their derivatives, such as geldanamycin (GA), are well-known inhibitors of the essential ATPase activity of Hsp90. Despite structural studies on the complexes of ansamycin derivatives with the ATPase domain of Hsp90, certain aspects of their inhibitory mechanism remain unresolved. For example, it is known that GA in solution exists in an extended conformation with a trans amide bond; however, it binds to Hsp90 in a significantly more compact conformation with a cis amide bond. GA and its derivatives have been shown to bind to Hsp90 with low micromolar affinity in vitro, in contrast to the low nanomolar anti-proliferative activity that these drugs exhibit in vivo. In addition, they show selectivity towards tumour cells. We have studied both the equilibrium binding, and the association and dissociation kinetics of GA derivative, 17-DMAG, and the fluorescently labelled analogue BDGA to both wild-type and mutant Hsp90. The mutants were made in order to test the hypothesis that conserved residues near the ATP-binding site may catalyse the trans-cis isomerisation of GA. Our results show that Hsp90 does not catalyse the trans-cis isomerisation of GA, and suggests that there is no isomerisation step before binding to Hsp90. Experiments with BDGA measured over a wide range of conditions, in the absence and in the presence of reducing agents, confirm recent studies that have suggested that the reduced dihydroquinone form of the drug binds to Hsp90 considerably more tightly than the non-reduced quinone species.

Abstract
The molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) has emerged as an exciting molecular target. Derivatives of the natural product geldanamycin, such as 17-allylamino-17-demethoxy-geldanamycin (17-AAG), were the first HSP90 ATPase inhibitors to enter clinical trial. Synthetic small-molecule HSP90 inhibitors have potential advantages. Here, we describe the biological properties of the lead compound of a new class of 3,4-diaryl pyrazole resorcinol HSP90 inhibitor (CCT018159), which we identified by high-throughput screening. CCT018159 inhibited human HSP90beta with comparable potency to 17-AAG and with similar ATP-competitive kinetics. X-ray crystallographic structures of the NH(2)-terminal domain of yeast Hsp90 complexed with CCT018159 or its analogues showed binding properties similar to radicicol. The mean cellular GI(50) value of CCT018159 across a panel of human cancer cell lines, including melanoma, was 5.3 mumol/L. Unlike 17-AAG, the in vitro antitumor activity of the pyrazole resorcinol analogues is independent of NQO1/DT-diaphorase and P-glycoprotein expression. The molecular signature of HSP90 inhibition, comprising increased expression of HSP72 protein and depletion of ERBB2, CDK4, C-RAF, and mutant B-RAF, was shown by Western blotting and quantified by time-resolved fluorescent-Cellisa in human cancer cell lines treated with CCT018159. CCT018159 caused cell cytostasis associated with a G(1) arrest and induced apoptosis. CCT018159 also inhibited key endothelial and tumor cell functions implicated in invasion and angiogenesis. Overall, we have shown that diaryl pyrazole resorcinols exhibited similar cellular properties to 17-AAG with potential advantages (e.g., aqueous solubility, independence from NQO1 and P-glycoprotein). These compounds form the basis for further structure-based optimization to identify more potent inhibitors suitable for clinical development.

Abstract
A series of ansa-quinones has been prepared by chemical synthesis, and evaluated by biological techniques. Thus, 19-membered ansa-lactams, simplified analogues of the naturally occurring Hsp90 molecular chaperone inhibitor geldanamycin, were obtained by concise routes, the key steps being the combination of a ring-closing metathesis to give a 17-membered ring followed by Claisen rearrangement to effect ring expansion. The methodology was also used to prepare an "unnatural" 18-membered ring analogue. In ATPase enzyme assays, the synthetic ansa-quinones were weak inhibitors of Hsp90.

Abstract
Novobiocin is a member of the coumermycin family of antibiotics and is a well-established inhibitor of DNA gyrase. Recent studies have shown that novobiocin binds to a previously unrecognized ATP-binding site at the C-terminus of Hsp90 and induces degradation of Hsp90-dependent client proteins at approximately 700 microM. In an effort to develop more efficacious inhibitors of the C-terminal binding site, a library of novobiocin analogues was prepared and initial structure-activity relationships revealed. These data suggested that the 4-hydroxy moiety of the coumarin ring and the 3'-carbamate of the noviose appendage were detrimental to Hsp90 inhibitory activity. In an effort to confirm these findings, 4-deshydroxy novobiocin (DHN1) and 3'-descarbamoyl-4-deshydroxynovobiocin (DHN2) were prepared and evaluated against Hsp90. Both compounds were significantly more potent than the natural product, and DHN2 proved to be more active than DHN1. In an effort to determine whether these moieties are important for DNA gyrase inhibition, these compounds were tested for their ability to inhibit DNA gyrase and found to exhibit significant reduction in gyrase activity. Thus, we have established the first set of compounds that clearly differentiate between the C-terminus of Hsp90 and DNA gyrase, converted a well-established gyrase inhibitor into a selective Hsp90 inhibitor, and confirmed essential structure-activity relationships for the coumermycin family of antibiotics.

Abstract
Two recent papers attempt to solve both the tumor selectivity and the in vivo tumor accumulation profiles seen with some Hsp90 inhibitors. They spotlight the higher affinity of ansamycins' hydroquinone over the quinone form for Hsp90 and further discuss its possible contribution to ansamycins' tumor selectivity.
