Luminespib (INN, [2] previously known as NVP-AUY922) is an experimental drug candidate for the treatment of cancer. It was discovered through a collaboration between The Institute of Cancer Research and the pharmaceutical company Vernalis [3] and licensed to Novartis. [4] From 2011 to 2014 it was in Phase II clinical trials. [5] [6] Chemically it is a resorcinylic isoxazole amide [6]
Luminespib is an inhibitor of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), [1] which is a chaperone protein that plays a role in the modification of a variety of proteins that have been implicated in oncogenesis. Luminespib has shown promising activity in preclinical testing against several different tumor types. [7] [8] [9] [10]
A related compound, NVP-HSP990, was abandoned by Novartis in 2012 after it failed to show efficacy in an early clinical trial. [6]
