In Vitro Metabolism of 17-(Dimethylaminoethylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin in Human Liver Microsomes

In Vitro Metabolism of 17-(dimethylaminoethylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17- DMAG) in Human Liver Microsomes

Biotransformation of geldanamycin and 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin by human liver microsomes: reductive versus oxidative metabolism and implications.

Comparative metabolite profiling of geldanamycin and 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17AAG) using human liver microsomes in normoxia and hypoxia was conducted to understand their differential metabolic fates. Geldanamycin bearing a 17-methoxy group primarily underwent reductive metabolism, generating the corresponding hydroquinone under both conditions. The formed hydroquinone resists f...

Antiangiogenic properties of 17-(dimethylaminoethylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin: an orally bioavailable heat shock protein 90 modulator.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the antiangiogenic properties of 17-(dimethylaminoethylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-DMAG; NSC707545), a water-soluble benzoquinone ansamycin. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The activity of 17-DMAG, in vivo, was evaluated for inhibition of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2-induced angiogenesis in s.c. implanted Matrigel in mice. In vitro, the act...

Metabolism of 17-(allylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (NSC 330507) by murine and human hepatic preparations.

17-(Allylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17AAG), a compound that is proposed for clinical development, shares the ability of geldanamycin to bind to heat shock protein 90 and GRP94, thereby depleting cells of p185erbB2, mutant p53, and Raf-1. Urine and plasma from mice treated i.v. with 17AAG contained six materials with absorption spectra similar to that of 17AAG. Therefore, in vitro metaboli...

Enhanced tumor cell radiosensitivity and abrogation of G2 and S phase arrest by the Hsp90 inhibitor 17-(dimethylaminoethylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin.

PURPOSE Because of the potential for affecting multiple signaling pathways, inhibition of Hsp90 may provide a strategy for enhancing tumor cell radiosensitivity. Therefore, we have investigated the effects of the orally bioavailable Hsp90 inhibitor 17-(dimethylaminoethylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-DMAG) on the radiosensitivity of human tumor cells in vitro and grown as tumor xenografts....
