We report on the discovery of benzo- and pyridino- thiazolothiopurines as potent heat shock protein 90inhibitors. The benzothiazole moiety is exceptionally sensitive to substitutions on the aromatic ring with a7'-substituent essential for activity. Some of these compounds exhibit low nanomolar inhibition activity ina Her-2 degradation assay (28-150 nM), good aqueous solubility, and oral bioavailability profiles in mice.In vivo efficacy experiments demonstrate that compounds of this class inhibit tumor growth in an N87human colon cancer xenograft model via oral administration as shown with compound 37 (8-(7-chlorobenzothiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)-9-(2-cyclopropylamino-ethyl)-9H- purin-6-ylamine).
