Heat shock protein 70 (hsp-70) receptor ligands

摘要

Inducible HSP70 is overexpressed in a wide spectrum of human tumors and its expression correlates with metastasis and poor outcomes to radiation and chemotherapy in patients. Identification of small molecule inhibitors of HSP70 pose a new therapy to cancer treatment. HS72, a benzimidazole piperidinyl carboxamide has been identified as an allosteric inhibitor for HSP70 and has demonstrated good tumor growth inhibition in vivo.
