Recent progress in the development of HSP90 inhibitors: structure-activity relationship and biological evaluation...

In cellular biology, Heat Shock Protein 90 (Hsp90) plays a pivotal role in coordinating several processes essential or cellular survival, cell signaling and other processes. This analysis explores the complex structure, biological significance, and regulatory mechanisms clarifying its essential function in preserving cellular homeostasis and its relevance in a range of illnesses, such as cancer, neurological conditions, infectious diseases, cardiovascular conditions, and autoimmune diseases. Hsp90 is a prominent target for cancer treatment. The current manuscript involved the recent progress in the synthesis and development of Hsp90 inhibitor for the treatment of cancer. In this manuscript, the authors have compiled the Hsp90 inhibitors containing various heterocyclic rings such as Benzothiazone, Benzamide, Isoxazole, Pyrimidinone, Imidazole, Pyrimidine, Isatin, Quinazoline and Pyrazole etc. In this review, the authors incorporate the anticancer activity, Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR), Molecular Docking studies and Biological Evaluation of recently synthesized Hsp90 inhibitors. The authors have also added the clinical trial status of Hsp90 inhibitors and their potential use in cancer therapy. Overall, this review highlights the recent advancements in the field of Hsp90 inhibitor from 2020 to present. This review provides medicinal chemists with comprehensive insights into the development of Hsp90 inhibitors by guiding future research and drug discovery efforts in cancer.
