      • Overview
        • Herbimcyin is a sparingly soluble benzoquinone anti-tumor agent which interacts with the stress-induced chaperone protein Hsp90 (heat shock protein 90).

          Background

          Herbimycin A binds specifically to the heat shock protein Hsp90 and to its endoplasmic reticulum homologue GP96, and thus interferes with conformational maturation of proteins and the cellular stress response.

      • Applications
        • Application Description
          Cancer Applications: In normal cells, Hsp90 stabilizes and folds proteins, however, in tumor cells, Hsp90 activity helps stabilize mutated growth factor and signal proteins which facilitate tumor growth. To prevent this complication, Herbimycin A binds to and inactivates Hsp90 in cancerous cells leading to degradation of cancer cell proteins.
