Biological Description

JG-98 is an allosteric Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) inhibitor. It binds within the nucleotide binding domain of HSP70, adjacent to ATP/ADP binding pocket. JG-98 blocks HSC70-Bag1 interactions both in vitro and in vivo. It is an active anti-cancer compound. JG-98 inhibits growth of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, with EC50s of 400 nM. Target identification in multiple myeloma cells showed that it targets mortalin and Hsp60. Jg-98 destabilizes oncoproteins, including Akt and Raf-1. It reduces apoptosis.
