Tetralogy of fallot with persistent fifth aortic arch: echocardiographic diagnosis.

Although persistent, fifth aortic arch (P5A) is an uncommon anomaly. Its incidence is unknown due largely to failure of recognition. Fundamental to its diagnosis is an adequate understanding of the various settings in which P5A may manifest.

Silencing of HSP90 cochaperone AHA1 expression decreases client protein activation and increases cellular sensitivity to the HSP90 inhibitor 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin.

AHA1 (activator of HSP90 ATPase) is a cochaperone of the ATP-dependent molecular chaperone, HSP90, which is involved in the maturation, stabilization/degradation, and function of oncogenic proteins. HSP90 operates in a multimeric complex driven by the binding and hydrolysis of ATP. Treatment of cells with the HSP90 inhibitor 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG) results in the degradation of client proteins via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.

Inhibition of the heat shock protein 90 molecular chaperone in vitro and in vivo by novel, synthetic, potent resorcinylic pyrazole/isoxazole amide analogues.

Although the heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitor 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG) shows clinical promise, potential limitations encourage development of alternative chemotypes. We discovered the 3,4-diarylpyrazole resorcinol CCT018159 by high-throughput screening and used structure-based design to generate more potent pyrazole amide analogues, exemplified by VER-49009. Here, we describe the detailed biological properties of VER-49009 and the corresponding isoxazole VER-50589.
