ver52296

Luminespib (VER-52296) is an HSP90 inhibitor that inhibits HSP90α and HSP90β (IC50=7.8 21 nM). Luminespib has antitumor activity and is used in studies of head and neck tumors, among others.

Luminespib, also known as AUY-922, NVP-AUY922, VER52296, is a derivative of 4,5-diarylisoxazole and a third-generation heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. Hsp90 inhibitor AUY922 has been shown to bind with high affinity to and inhibit Hsp90, resulting in the proteasomal degradation of oncogenic client proteins; the inhibition of cell proliferation; and the elevation of heat shock protein 72 (Hsp72) in a wide range of human tumor cell lines.
