Summary
Radicicol Resorcylic acid lactone that inhibits Hsp90.
Details
Radicicol is a fungal secondary metabolite originally identified as an antibiotic and later established as a potent ATP competitive inhibitor of heat shock protein 90 Hsp90. It binds to the N terminal ATP binding pocket of Hsp90 and blocks its chaperone cycle, leading to destabilization and degradation of oncogenic client proteins including Raf 1, HER2, and mutant p53. Structural and biochemical studies confirmed its occupation of the nucleotide binding site and its role in suppressing oncogenic signaling.
Mechanism
ATP-competitive inhibitor of Hsp90 that binds the N-terminal nucleotide pocket, blocking chaperone function.
