Inhibition of the Hsp90 C-terminus is an attractive therapeutic approach for the treatment of cancer. Novobiocin, the first Hsp90 C-terminal inhibitor identified, contains a synthetically complex noviose sugar that has limited the generation of structure-

Development of the DNA gyrase inhibitor, novobiocin, into a selective Hsp90 inhibitor was accomplished through structural modifications to the amide side chain, coumarin ring, and sugar moiety. These species exhibit ?700- fold improved anti-proliferative activity versus the natural product as evaluated by cellular efficacies against breast, colon, prostate, lung, and other cancer cell lines. Utilization of structure- activity relationships established for three novobiocin synthons produced optimized scaffolds, which manifest midnanomolar activity against a panel of cancer cell lines and serve as lead compounds that manifest their activities through Hsp90 inhibition.
