Heat shock protein 90(Hsp90) is an appealing anticancer drug target that provoked a tremendous wave of investigations. Geldanamycin(GA) is the first identified Hsp90 inhibitor that exhibited potent anticancer activity...
The interference of human heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) in many signalling networks associated with cancer progression makes it an important drug target. In the present work, we investigated the binding ability of 9 s...
Geldanamycin (1) had been isolated as a major compound from Streptomyces zerumbet W14;an endophyte of Zingiber zerumbet (L.) Smith. Two new geldanamycin derivatives;17-(tryptamine)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (2) and 17...
Streptomyces zerumbet W14, a novel species of the endophyte genus Streptomyces was isolated from the rhizome tissue of Zingiber zerumbet (L.) Smith. Identification of strain W14 was based on its morphology, chemotaxon...
To study how conserved fundamental concepts of the heat stress response (HSR) are in photosynthetic eukaryotes, we applied pharmaceutical and antisense/amiRNA approaches to the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas r...
Mitosis-targeted anti-cancer therapies gained much attention in recent years. However, lack of tumor selectivity poses limitations to the current anti-mitotic drugs to be used as broad-spectrum anti-cancer agents. In ...
Heat stress induces expression of a set of thermotolerance-related genes in plants. We focused on rice (Oryza sativa L.) homologs of the gene family that encodes galactinol synthase (OsGolS), which is closely related ...
Cytochrome P4501A (the CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 enzymes) are regulated through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-dependent signal transduction pathway and are generally known as enzymes which metabolize anthropogenic xenob...

Heat shock protein 90(Hsp90)is a highly conserved molecular chaperone that plays a vital role in the signal transduction of cancers.Hsp90 inhibitors are able to inhibit Hsp90 or the complex of Hsp90 and co-chaperones ...
