Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

KW-2478 is an agent that targets the human heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90) with potential antineoplastic activity. Although the mechanism of action remains to be fully elucidated, Hsp90 antagonist KW-2478 appears to inhibit Hsp90, resulting in impaired signal transduction, inhibition of cell proliferation, and the induction of apoptosis in tumor cells.

More Info
Research from Japan recently reported that exposure of KW-2478 to MM cells resulted in growth inhibition and apoptosis, which were associated with degradation of well-known client proteins as well as a decrease in IgH translocation products (FGFR3, c-Maf, and cyclin D1), and FGFR3 was shown to be a new client protein of Hsp90 chaperon complex. In addition, KW-2478 depleted the Hsp90 client Cdk9, a transcriptional kinase, and the phosphorylated 4E-BP1, a translational inhibitor. Both inhibitory effects of KW-2478 on such transcriptional and translational pathways were shown to reduce c-Maf and cyclin D1 expression. In NCI-H929 s.c. inoculated model, KW-2478 showed a significant suppression of tumor growth and induced the degradation of client proteins in tumors. Furthermore, in a novel orthotopic MM model of i.v. inoculated OPM-2/green fluorescent protein, KW-2478 showed a significant reduction of both serum M protein and MM tumor burden in the bone marrow. CONCLUSIONS:  These results suggest that targeting such diverse pathways by KW-2478 could be a promising strategy for the treatment of MM with various cytogenetic abnormalities. (Clin Cancer Res. 2010 May 15;16(10):2792-802. ). Research from Japan recently reported that    
Product Data
Biological target:
KW-2478 is an inhibitor of Hsp90α, with an IC50 of 3.8 nM, and has antitumor activity against various human hematological tumor cells.
In vitro activity:
Additionally, KW-2478 exhibited favorable anti-NSCLC activity in vitro, as it inhibited cell proliferation (IC50, 8.16 μM for A549; 14.29 μM for H1975) and migration, induced cell cycle arrest and promoted apoptosis. Reference: J Struct Biol. 2021 Jun;213(2):107710. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33610655/
In vivo activity:
Notably, KW-2478 had a stronger effect on growth inhibition, apoptosis induction and cell cycle arrest of K562/G01 cells than K562 cells. KW-2478 could effectively prolong the mouse lifespan and alleviate disease symptoms in CML-like mouse models.
