High-throughput screening for Hsp90 ATPase inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2006 Jun 1;16(11):3005-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2006.02.063. Epub 2006 Mar 10.

Abstract

Recently, we reported a useful assay for the determination of yeast Hsp90 ATPase activity. Using this assay, high-throughput screening of approximately 10,000 compounds was performed to determine the feasibility of this assay on large scale. Results from high-throughput screening indicated that the assay was reproducible (av Z-factor = 0.80) and identified 0.57% of the compounds as Hsp90 inhibitors that exhibited IC50s less than 20 microM. The structures of several of these inhibitory scaffolds are reported along with their IC50 values.
