Antiangiogenic Properties of 17-(Dimethylaminoethylamino)-17-Demethoxygeldanamycin

Antiangiogenic properties of 17-(dimethylaminoethylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin: an orally bioavailable heat shock protein 90 modulator.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the antiangiogenic properties of 17-(dimethylaminoethylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-DMAG; NSC707545), a water-soluble benzoquinone ansamycin. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The activity of 17-DMAG, in vivo, was evaluated for inhibition of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2-induced angiogenesis in s.c. implanted Matrigel in mice. In vitro, the act...

In Vitro Metabolism of 17-(dimethylaminoethylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17- DMAG) in Human Liver Microsomes

Enhanced tumor cell radiosensitivity and abrogation of G2 and S phase arrest by the Hsp90 inhibitor 17-(dimethylaminoethylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin.

PURPOSE Because of the potential for affecting multiple signaling pathways, inhibition of Hsp90 may provide a strategy for enhancing tumor cell radiosensitivity. Therefore, we have investigated the effects of the orally bioavailable Hsp90 inhibitor 17-(dimethylaminoethylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-DMAG) on the radiosensitivity of human tumor cells in vitro and grown as tumor xenografts....

Heat shock protein 90 inhibitor 17-dimethylaminoethylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin enhances EphA2+ tumor cell recognition by specific CD8+ T cells.

EphA2, a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase family, is commonly expressed by a broad range of cancer types, where its level of (over)expression correlates with poor clinical outcome. Because tumor cell expressed EphA2 is a nonmutated "self" protein, specific CD8(+) T cells are subject to self-tolerance mechanisms and typically exhibit only moderate-to-low functional avidity, rendering them ...

Acquired resistance to 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG, tanespimycin) in glioblastoma cells.

Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitors, such as 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG, tanespimycin), which is currently in phase II/phase III clinical trials, are promising new anticancer agents. Here, we explored acquired resistance to HSP90 inhibitors in glioblastoma (GB), a primary brain tumor with poor prognosis. GB cells were exposed continuously to increased 17-AAG concentrati...
