Macrocyclic compounds bearing a 2-amino-6-arylpyrimidine moiety were identified as potent heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitors by modification of 2-amino-6-aryltriazine derivative (CH5015765). We employed a macrocyclic structure as a skeleton of new inhibitors to mimic the geldanamycin-Hsp90 interactions. Among the identified inhibitors, CH5164840 showed high binding affinity for N-terminal Hsp90α (K(d)=0.52nM) and strong anti-proliferative activity against human cancer cell lines (HCT116 IC(50)=0.15μM, NCI-N87 IC(50)=0.066μM). CH5164840 displayed high oral bioavailability in mice (F=70.8%) and potent antitumor efficacy in a HCT116 human colorectal cancer xenograft model (tumor growth inhibition=83%).

Genetic mutations in retinol dehydrogenase 5 (RDH5), a rate-limiting enzyme of the visual cycle, is associated with nyctalopia, AMD and stationary congenital fundus albipunctatus (FA). A majority of these mutations impair RDH5 protein expression and intracellular localization. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying RDH5 metabolism remain unclear.

In esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, genetic activation of NRF2 increases resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which results in a significantly worse prognosis for patients. Therefore NRF2-activated cancers create an urgent clinical need to identify new therapeutic options. In this context, we previously identified the geldanamycin family of HSP90 inhibitors, which includes 17DMAG, to be synthetic lethal with NRF2 activity.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) represents a grave challenge as it is characterized by high fatality rates and irreversible progression without effective clinical interventions available at present. Previous studies have demonstrated that inhibition of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) by an N-terminal inhibitor disrupts its interaction with TGFβRII, leading to the instability of TGFβRII, thus blocking the role of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), which could potentially ameliorate IPF symptoms. However, given that the broad spectrum of HSP90 N-terminal inhibitors may lead to unanticipated side effects, we hypothesize that C-terminal inhibitors of HSP90 can interfere with TGFβRII while minimizing adverse reactions.

Survivin belongs to the inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family and is encoded by the baculoviral inhibitor of apoptosis repeat-containing, or BIRC5, gene. It is preferentially expressed in cancers with functional complexity in cell signaling cascades such as extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK), mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), heat shock protein-90 (HSP90), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT), hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and others. Survivin plays a role in cell division and cell death, properties that have attracted a large body of research to decipher its therapeutic and prognostic significance in cancer.

Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) plays a central role in orchestrating the heat shock response (HSR), leading to the activation of multiple heat shock proteins (HSPs) genes and approximately thousands of other genes involved in various cellular functions. In cancer cells, HSPs play a particular role in coping with the accumulation of damaged proteins resulting from dysregulated translation and post-translational processes. This proteotoxic stress is a hallmark of cancer cells and causes constitutive activation of HSR.
