Abstract

A new series of geldanamycin derivatives were synthesized using a semi-synthetic approach involving genetically engineered biosynthetic intermediates. These analogues were then evaluated for anti-proliferation activity in human cancer cell lines, SK-Br3 and SK-Ov3. Most of the synthesized compounds exhibited potent in vitro anti-proliferation activity toward both cell lines. Such compounds potently inhibited the expression of the Hsp90 client protein ErbB2.
