Therapeutic potential of a novel HSP90 Inhibitor, NXD30001, for Neurofibromatosis type 2

ABSTRACT: Purpose: The growth and survival of NF2-deficient cells are enhanced by the activation of multiple signaling pathways including ErbB2/IGF-1R/Met, PI3K/Akt, and Ras/Raf/Mek/Erk1/2. The ubiquitously expressed chaperone protein HSP90 is known to be essential for the stabilization of these signaling molecules. We aim to evaluate the effect of the HSP90 inhibition on the signaling pathways activated in NF2-related tumors. We tested the efficacy of the newly synthesized small molecule NXD30001 which was shown to be more potent in HSP90 inhibition in vitro and less toxic in vivo than already existing HSP90 inhibitors. Experimental Design: The anti-proliferative activity of NXD30001 was tested in NF2-deficient mouse cells in vitro, and its anti-tumor efficacy was verified in an NF2-deficient allog
