Title: An Hsp90 modulator that exhibits a unique mechanistic profile.
Authors: Ramsey DM, McConnell JR, Alexander LD, Tanaka KW, Vera CM, McAlpine SR.
Abstract: Described is the synthesis of two biotinylated derivatives of a cytotoxic macrocycle. Pull-down assays indicate that this macrocycle targets the N-middle domain of Hsp90. Untagged compound can effectively compete away tagged compound-Hsp90 protein complexes, confirming the binding specificity of the macrocycle for Hsp90. The macrocycle is similar in potency to other structurally-related analogs of Sansalvamide A (San A) and induces apoptosis via a caspase 3 mechanism. Unlike other San A derivatives, we show that the macrocycle does not inhibit binding between C-terminal client proteins and co-chaperones and Hsp90, suggesting that it has a unique mechanism of action.
