| Gedunin is a naturally occurring Hsp90 inhibitor. In vitro, Gedunin induces Hsp90-dependent client protein degradation and displays antiproliferative activity (IC50 values are 3.22, 8.84 and 16.8uM in SKBr3, MCF-7 and CaCo-2 cancer cell lines respectively). Gedunin exhibits antimalarial activity against P. falciparum (IC50 values are 0.14 and 3.1uM in parasite development and [3H]-hypoxanthine uptake assays respectively). Synonyms: (1S,3aS,4aR,4bS,5R,6aR,10aR,10bR,12aS)-5-(Acetyloxy)-1-(3-furanyl)-1,5,6,6a,7,10a,10b,11,12,12a-decahydro-4b,7,7,10a,12a-pentamethyloxireno[c]phenanthro[1,2-d]pyran-3,8(3aH,4bH)-dione, Gedunine, NSC 113497, (5alpha,7alpha,13alpha,14beta,15beta,17aalpha)-7-(Acetyloxy)-14,15:21,23-diepoxy-4,4,8-trimethyl-D-homo-24-nor-17-oxachola-1,20,22-triene-3,16-dione CAS No: 2753-30-2 Molecular Formula: C28H34O7 Molecular Weight: 482.57 Appearance: White to off-white solid Purity: 97% (HPLC) Method for Determining Identity: Proton NMR and MS Optical Rotation: [a]D = +69.5 (c=1, Solvent: Methanol) Elemental Analysis: %C: 68.61, %H: 7.51 Melting Point: >199C (dec.)
