Abstract

Information from X-ray crystal structures were used to optimize the potency of a HTS hit in a HSP90 competitive binding assay. A class of novel and potent small molecule HSP90 inhibitors were thereby identified. Enantio-pure compounds 31 and 33 were potent in PGA-based competitive binding assay and inhibited proliferation of various human Cancer cell lines in vitro, with IC(50) values averaging 20 nM.
