We previously reported 4-(3-((6-bromonaphthalen-2-yl)oxy)-2-hydroxypropyl)-N,N-dimethylpiperazine-1-sulfonamide (1) as a novel heat shock protein 90 inhibitor with moderate activity. In our ongoing efforts for the discovery of Hsp90 modulators we undertake structural investigations on 1. Series of the titled compound were designed, synthesized and evaluated. We have found that compounds with a hydroxyl group at C-4 of the aryl ring on the piperazine moiety possess Hsp90 inhibition properties. Compound 6f with improved activity could be further developed and optimized as Hsp90 inhibitor.

4-(2-羟丙基)哌嗪-1-基)衍生物的合成及Hsp90抑制剂的评价

我们之前报道过 4-(3-((6-溴萘-2-基)氧基)-2-羟丙基) -N , N-二甲基哌嗪-1-磺酰胺 ( 1 ) 作为一种具有中等活性的新型热休克蛋白 90 抑制剂。在我们不断努力发现 Hsp90 调节剂的过程中，我们对1进行了结构研究。设计、合成并评价了系列标题化合物。我们发现哌嗪部分芳环C-4处带有羟基的化合物具有Hsp90抑制特性。具有改善活性的化合物6f可以进一步开发和优化作为Hsp90抑制剂。
