Tanespimycin

DescriptionTanespimycin (17-AAG, CP127374, NSC-330507, KOS 953) (75747-14-7) is a potent HSP90 inhibitor with IC50 of 5 nM in a cell-free assay, having a 100-fold higher binding affinity for HSP90 derived from tumour cells than HSP90 from normal cells. Tanespimycin (17-AAG) induces apoptosis, necrosis, autophagy and mitophagy. Phase 3.

Description17-AAG (75747-14-7) is a semi-synthetic analog of geldanamycin (Cat.# 10-1084) which is less toxic and more stable. 17-AAG selectively binds to and inhibits HSP90 from tumor cells. Anti-angiogenic activity. Cell permeable.

UsesGeldanamycin is a potent inhibitor of Hsp90 that exhibits severe hepatotoxicity when used in vivo. 17-AAG is an analog of geldanamycin which has potent in vivo activity and reduced toxicity. Like other Hsp90 inhibitors, 17-AAG has diverse anti-tumor actions and has potential in treating certain types of cancer. 17-AAG inhibits the growth of prostate cancer cell lines (IC50 = 25-45 nM). 17-AAG promotes the degradation of HER2 and induces growth arrest and apoptosis in breast cancer cells overexpressing HER2 (IC50 = 4-72 nM).

Uses17-(Allylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG) inhibits heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), the expression of heat shock factor-1, and the activity of oncogenic proteins such as N-ras, Ki-ras, c-Akt, and p185erB2. In addition to its anti-tumor effects, 17-AAG also induces apoptosis.

UsesPotent inhibitor of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). 17-AAG is a less toxic analog than Geldanamycin. It induces apoptosis and displays antitumor effects. 17-AAG inhibits the activity of oncogenic proteins such as N-ras, Ki-ras, c-Akt, and p185erB2.
