VER 155008

VER 155008 is a potent inhibitor of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) family of chaperones, which have been shown to contribute to cancer cell survival via anti-apoptotic functions, that inhibits Hsp70 (IC50 = 0.5 µM) as well as heat shock cognate 71 kDa protein (Hsc70) and 78 kDa glucose-regulated protein (Grp78) to a lesser extent. X-ray crystallography analysis reveals that VER 155008 binds to the ATPase pocket of Hsp70 leading to the inhibition of the intrinsic ATPase activity of Hsp70. Study results also have demonstrated that VER 155008 induces cell proliferation and apoptosis in human cancer cell lines.
