To discover celastrol (CEL) derivatives with enhanced Hsp90–Cdc37 inhibition, C-20-COOH was introduced with various substituted imidazoles, which might affect the Michael addition of CEL by nucleophilic attack. The most potent compound 9, which showed higher antiproliferation, covalent-binding ability, and Hsp90–Cdc37 inhibition than CEL, was selected from 28 new target compounds. Then, the binding
