Description

Geldanamycin is a benzoquinone ansamycin antibiotic, which binds to Hsp90 (Heat Shock Protein 90) and alters its function. Geldanamycin is a natural product from which several valuable derivates were synthesized. All derivates share its HSP90 inhibition, and vary in overall toxicity and water solubility.
