Abstract

A series of substituted coumarins1-10 was designed and synthesized as a novel class of 4TCNA analogues. Compound 2a showed excellent antiproliferative activity with mean GI50 values at a micromolar level in a diverse set of human Cancer cells (GI50 = 2-30 μM) and induced a high Apoptosis level in MCF-7 breast Cancer cell line. The molecular signature of HSP90 inhibition was assessed by depletion of the Erα HSP90 client protein.
