Comment: Luminespib (NVP-AUY922) is an intravenous HSP90 inhibitor with the potential to target a range of cancers. Discovered during a research collaboration with Novartis, Vernalis is now looking to partner the programme. We have drawn the structure as depicted in its INN record. Other chemistry resources show alternative tautomers. For example, PubChem CID 10096043 matches on CAS registry number, but is a structural tautomer.
![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Bioactivity Comments |
NVP-AUY922 efficiently induced apoptosis in 32Dp210 (IC50 =10 nM) and T315I or E255K cell lines with IC50 around 20-50 nM. Bcr-Abl and Jak2 form high MW complexes with HSP90 in CML cells. Inhibition of HSP90 by NVP-AUY922 disrupted the structure of these complexes, leading to Bcr-Abl degradation, inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis [3]. Thus, inhibition of HSP90 can inhibit not only imatinib-sensitive CML cells but also imatinib-resistant CML cells. The reference here looks at the in vitro cross-reactivity between HSP90 paralogues [1]. In another study this inhibitor also significantly reduced the cytotoxicity of NK cells by decreasing viability, inducing apoptosis and down-regulating the expression of cytokines and functional receptors, suggesting a potential immunosuppressant strategy [2]. |
