17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin information and resources from the National Cancer Institute

NCI Thesaurus | 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin

A benzoquinone antineoplastic antibiotic derived from the antineoplastic antibiotic geldanamycin. 17-allylamino 17-demethoxygeldanamycin binds to and inhibits the cytosolic chaperone functions of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90). HSP90 maintains the stability and functional shape of many oncogenic signaling proteins; the inhibition of HSP90 promotes the proteasomal degradation of oncogenic signaling proteins that may be overexpressed by tumor cells.
