A novel series of macrocyclic ortho-aminobenzamide Hsp90 inhibitors is reported. In continuation of our research in this area, macrocyclic amides and lactams were explored to reduce the risk of hERG liabilities. This effort culminated in the discovery of compound 38, which showed a favorable in vitro profile, and efficiently suppressed proliferation of several relevant cell lines. This compound showed prolonged Hsp90-inhibitory activity at least 24 h post-administration, consistent with elevated and prolonged exposure in the tumor.

As a common side effect of radiotherapy, radiation-induced intestinal injury (RIII) greatly affects the prognosis of patients and the efficacy of radiotherapy. Current therapeutic strategies for RIII are still very limited. Thus, the identification of effective radioprotective agents is of great importance.

Histone Deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is an intriguing therapeutic target in cancer re-search, distinguished as the only HDAC family member predominantly located in the cyto-plasm. HDAC6 features two catalytic domains and a unique ubiquitin-binding domain, which sets it apart from other HDACs. Beyond its role in histone deacetylation, HDAC6 targets vari-ous nonhistone substrates, such as α-tubulin, cortactin, Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90), and Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1).

Dual targeting of HSP90 and BCL-2 in breast cancer cells using inhibitors BIIB021 and ABT-263.

Purpose: The incidence of breast cancer has been increasing in recent years, and monotherapy approaches are not sufficient alone in the treatment of breast cancer. In the combined therapy approach, combining two or three different agents in lower doses can mitigate the side effects on living cells and tissues caused by high doses of chemical agents used alone. ABT-263 (navitoclax), a clinically tested Bcl-2 family protein inhibitor, has shown limited success in clinical trials due to the development of resistance to monotherapy in breast cancer cells.

Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent and lethal malignancies in women, particularly the estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) subtype, which accounts for approximately 70% of cases. Traditional endocrine therapies, including aromatase inhibitors, selective estrogen receptor degraders/antagonists (SERDs), and selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), have improved outcomes for metastatic ER+ breast cancer. However, resistance to these agents presents a significant challenge.

Article Synopsis
  • Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting mainly older individuals, and this study explores the role of anoikis-related genes (ARGs) in understanding the disease better.
  • Researchers analyzed gene expression data from healthy and AD-affected brains, pinpointing differentially expressed genes and focusing on 47 ARGs, with HSP90B1 identified as a significant marker correlating with AD.
  • Experiments showed that inhibiting HSP90B1 improves cell viability and reduces inflammation in AD models, suggesting potential new pathways for treatment or understanding the disease’s mechanisms.
