The invention provides a screening method and screening kit for a cell protecting agent. Specifically, the invention provides a method for screening a cell protecting agent showing an Hsp90-binding activity and a heat shock protein expression-inducing activity but having no Hsp90 client protein degradation-promoting activity. The method comprises the following steps (1) to (3): (1) measuring the binding property of a test compound to Hsp90; (2) measuring the activity of a test compound to induce the expression of a heat shock protein, or measuring the activity of a test compound to disrupt an Hsp90/HSF-1 complex, by using a cell capable of expressing the heat shock protein; and (3) measuring the activity of a test compound to induce the degradation of an Hsp90 client protein by using a cell capable of expressing the Hsp90 client protein. The invention further provides specifically a kit for screening a cell protecting agent, comprising (1) Hsp90; (2) a reagent for measuring the heat shock protein expression-inducing activity; (3) an imidazothiazine derivative; and (4) a reagent for quantifying an Hsp90 client protein.
本发明提供了一种细胞保护剂的筛选方法和筛选试剂盒。具体而言,本发明提供了一种筛选细胞保护剂的方法,该方法显示出Hsp90结合活性和热休克蛋白表达诱导活性,但没有Hsp90客户蛋白降解促进活性。该方法包括以下步骤(1)至(3):(1)测量试验化合物与Hsp90的结合性质;(2)利用能够表达热休克蛋白的细胞,测量试验化合物诱导热休克蛋白表达的活性,或测量试验化合物破坏Hsp90/HSF-1复合物的活性;(3)利用能够表达Hsp90客户蛋白的细胞,测量试验化合物诱导Hsp90客户蛋白降解的活性。本发明进一步具体提供了一种用于筛选细胞保护剂的试剂盒,包括(1)Hsp90;(2)用于测量热休克蛋白表达诱导活性的试剂;(3)
