Abstract
A new series of coumarin inhibitors of hsp90 lacking the noviose moiety as well as substituents on C-7 and C-8 positions of the aromatic ring was synthesised and their hsp90 inhibitory activity has been delineated: for example, their capacity to induce the degradation of client proteins and to inhibit estradiol-induced transcription in human breast cancer cells. In cell proliferation assay, the most active compound 5g was ∼8 times more potent than the parent novobiocin natural compound.
