View Article and Find Full Text PDFA series of isosteric surrogates of the 4-phenyl group in luminespib were investigated as new scaffolds of the Hsp90 inhibitor for the discovery of novel antitumor agents. Among the synthesized surrogates of isoxazole and pyrazole, compounds 4a, 5e and 12b exhibited potent Hsp90 inhibition in ATPase activity and Her2 degradation assays and significant antitumor activity in A2780 and HCT116 cell lines. Animal studies indicated that compared to luminespib, their activities were superior in A2780 or NCI-H1975 tumor xenograft models.
