General description

A less toxic, potent, synthetic derivative of the ansamycin benzoquinone antibiotic Geldanamycin Streptomyces hygroscopicus (Cat. No. 345805) that binds to Hsp90 (EC50 = 7.2 µM) and regulates its function. Reported to induce apoptosis and exhibit anti-tumor properties (IC50 = 4.1 nM in SKBR3 and 5.2 nM in MCF7 cells). Depletes cancer cells of erbB-1, erbB-2 (EC50 = 45 nM), mutant p53, (EC50 = 62 nM), Raf-1 (EC50 = 80 nM), and Akt. Hence, inhibits the Ras/Raf/MEK and PI3-Kinase signaling pathways. Shown to sensitize cancer cells to Paclitaxel (Cat. No. 580555) and Doxorubicin (Cat. No. 324380), and down-regulates vascular endothelial factor expression.

We have previously identified receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1) as a direct transcriptional target of TTF-1/NKX2-1, a lineage-survival oncogene in lung adenocarcinoma. ROR1 sustains prosurvival signaling from multiple receptor tyrosine kinases including epidermal growth factor receptor, MET, and

Currently there is great interest in targeting mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in cancer. However, notwithstanding the targeting of mutant dehydrogenases, nearly all hopeful 'mito-therapeutics' cannot discriminate cancerous from non-cancerous OXPHOS and thus suffer from a limited therapeutic index. Using acute
