Abstract
Docking-based virtual screening identified 1-(2-phenol)-2-naphthol compounds as a new class of Hsp90 inhibitors of low to sub-micromolar potency. Here we report the binding affinities and cellular activities of several members of this class. A high resolution crystal structure of the most potent compound reveals its binding mode in the ATP binding site of Hsp90, providing a rationale for the observed activity of the series and suggesting strategies for developing compounds with improved properties.
