17-AAG

Description

17-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.

Dark Purple Solid

The Uses of 17-AAG

Potent 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.

The Uses of 17-AAG

Geldanamycin 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).

The Uses of 17-AAG

17-(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.

What are the applications of Application

17-AAG is a potent heat shot protein 90 Hsp90) inhibitor for BT474 tumor cells, derived from geldanamycin.

Definition

ChEBI: A 19-membered macrocyle that is geldanamycin in which the methoxy substituent attached to the benzoquinone moiety has been replaced by an allylamino group. It is a potent inhibitor of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). A less toxic analogue than geldanamycin, t induces apoptosis and displays antitumour effects.

General Description

Chemical structure: benzenoid

Biological Activity

Inhibitor of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) chaperone activity, and an analog of geldanamycin (9,13-Dihydroxy-8,14,19-trimethoxy-4,10,12,16-tetramethyl-2-azabicyclo[16.3.1]docosa-4,6,10,18,21-pentaene-3,20,22-trione, 9-carbamate ). Subsequently inhibits the activity of oncogenic proteins such as p185 erbB-2 (IC 50 = 31 nM), N-ras, Ki-ras and c-Akt. Antitumor in vivo .
