Hsp90 is a molecular chaperone that plays a pivotal role in the cell life cycle. ATP-regulated internal dynamics are critical to Hsp90 function and we recently demonstrated that these dynamics can be modulated in an allosteric fashion; the protein C-terminal domain (CTD) can be effectively targeted with a family of 2-phenyl-benzofuran derivatives. Here we describe the expansion of the initial library

report a new class of glycosyldonors, benzoxazolyl imidates, for chemical glycosylation. The O-benzoxazolyl (OBox) leaving group was designed with an aim to compare the relative reactivity and stability of similarly structured S-benzoxazolyl (SBox) glycosides (thioimidates) developed in our lab and glycosyl trichloroacetimidates (TCAI, O-imidates) developed by Schmidt. Novel OBox donors can be activated

Hsp90 (Heat shock protein-90) is a chaperone protein and an established anti-apoptotic target in cancer therapy. Most of the known small-molecule inhibitors that have shown potent antitumor activity target the Hsp90 N-terminal domain and directly inhibit its ATP-ase activity. Many of these molecules display important secondary effects. A different approach to Hsp90 inhibition consists of targeting
