2 Biological Activity
PF-04929113 (SNX-5422) is a potent and selective Hsp90 inhibitor with an IC50 of median 50 nM. [1] Hsp90 is a molecular chaperone that plays a key role in the conformational maturation of oncogenic signaling proteins, such as HER2/ERBB2, AKT, RAF1, BCR-ABL, and mutated p53, as well as many other molecules that are important in cell cycle regulation or immune responses. PF-04929113 (SNX-5422) is a synthetic prodrug targeting the human heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90) with potential antineoplastic activity. Although the mechanism of action remains to be fully elucidated, PF-04929113 (SNX-5422) is rapidly converted to SNX-2112, which accumulates in tumors relative to normal tissues. Inhibition of Hsp90 by SNX-2112 may result in the proteasomal degradation of oncogenic client proteins, including HER2/ERBB2, and the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation. [2] PF-04929113 (SNX-5422) is originally developed by Pfizer and Serenex, Inc., and the phase I clinical trials for PF-04929113 (SNX-5422) has been completed in the treatment of solid tumors.
