General description

Chemical structure: benzenoid

Application

17-(Allylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG) has been used as a heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitor:
  • to study its effects on hippocampal neurons
  • to analyze its effects on yes-associated protein (YAP) phosphorylation in adenocarcinoma human alveolar basal epithelial cells and human breast epithelial cells
  • to study its effects on lifespan extension and health in Caenorhabditis elegans

Biochem/physiol Actions

17-(Allylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG) is a benzoquinone and is an analog of geldanamycin.
Potent inhibitor of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). 17-AAG is a less toxic analog than geldanamycin. It induces apoptosis and displays antitumor effects. 17-AAG inhibits the activity of oncogenic proteins such as N-ras, Ki-ras, c-Akt, and p185erB2.

The first-generation ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) crizotinib is a standard therapy for patients with ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Several next-generation ALK-TKIs have entered the clinic and have shown promising activity in crizotinib-resistant patients. As patients still relapse
