Title:

Fragment-based identification of Hsp90 inhibitors.

Journal:

ChemMedChem. 2009 Jun;4(6):963-6.

Abstract:

Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) plays a key role in stress response and protection of the cell against the effects of mutation. Herein we report the identification of an Hsp90 inhibitor identified by fragment screening using a high-concentration biochemical assay, as well as its optimisation by in silico searching coupled with a structure-based drug design (SBDD) approach.
