Geldanamycin

Chemical compound From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Geldanamycin is a 1,4-benzoquinone ansamycin antitumor antibiotic that inhibits the function of Hsp90 (Heat Shock Protein 90) by binding to the unusual ADP/ATP-binding pocket of the protein.[1] HSP90 client proteins play important roles in the regulation of the cell cycle, cell growth, cell survival, apoptosis, angiogenesis and oncogenesis.[2]

Geldanamycin induces the degradation of proteins that are mutated or overexpressed in tumor cells such as v-Src, Bcr-Abl, p53, and ERBB2. This effect is mediated via HSP90. Despite its potent antitumor potential, geldanamycin presents several major drawbacks as a drug candidate such as hepatotoxicity, further, Jilani et al.. reported that geldanamycin induces the apoptosis of erythrocytes under physiological concentrations.[4] These side effects have led to the development of geldanamycin analogues, in particular analogues containing a derivatisation at the 17 position:

Biosynthesis

Geldanamycin was originally discovered in the organism Streptomyces hygroscopicus.[5] It is a macrocyclic polyketide that is synthesized by a Type I polyketide synthase. The genes gelA, gelB, and gelC encode for the polyketide synthase. The PKS is first loaded with 3-amino-5-hydroxybenzoic acid (AHBA). It then utilizes malonyl-CoA, methylmalonyl-CoA, and methoxymalonyl-CoA to synthesize the precursor molecule Progeldanamycin.[6] This precursor is subjected to several enzymatic and non-enzymatic tailoring steps to produce the active molecule geldanamycin, which include hydroxylation, O-methylation, carbamoylation, and oxidation.[7]
