Heat Shock Protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone under clinical investigation for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Neuroprotective Hsp90 C-terminal inhibitors (novologues) contain a biaryl ring system, and include KU-596, which was modified and investigated for potential anti-cancer activity. Incorporation of a benzamide group onto the biaryl novologues in lieu of the acetamide yielded compounds that manifest anti-cancer activity. Further exploration of the central phenyl ring led to compounds with enhanced anti-proliferative activity. The design, synthesis, and evaluation of these new analogs against breast and prostate cancer cell lines is reported herein, where it was found that 8b and 10 manifest potent anti-proliferative activity and a robust degradation of Hsp90 client-dependent proteins.

Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a chaperone under investigation for the treatment of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Neuroprotective Hsp90 C-terminal inhibitors derived from novobiocin (novologues) include KU-32 and KU-596. These novologues modulate molecular chaperones and result in an induction of Heat Shock Protein 70 (Hsp70). “Noviomimetics” replace the synthetically complex noviose sugar with a simple cyclohexyl moiety to maintain biological efficacy as compared to novologues KU-596 and KU-32. In this study, we further explore the development of noviomimetics and evaluate their efficacy using a luciferase refolding assay, immunoblot analysis, a c-jun assay, and an assay measuring mitochondrial bioenergetics. These new noviomimetics were designed and synthesized and found to induce Hsp70 and improve biological activity. Noviomimetics 39e and 40a were found to induce Hsp70 and exhibit promising effects in cellular assays.
