Alvespimycin

A semi-synthetic derivative of geldanamycin, an antibiotic produced by the bacterium Streptomyces hygroscopicus; it inhibits the protein Hsp90 and was studied in the 2000s against solid tumours and leukaemias, without reaching approval. This family brings together the active ingredient.
