Macrocyclic compounds bearing a 2-amino-6-arylpyrimidine moiety were identified as potent heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitors by modification of 2-amino-6-aryltriazine derivative (CH5015765). We employed a macrocyclic structure as a skeleton of new inhibitors to mimic the geldanamycin-Hsp90 interactions. Among the identified inhibitors, CH5164840 showed high binding affinity for N-terminal Hsp90¦Á (Kd = 0.52 nM) and strong anti-proliferative activity against human cancer cell lines (HCT116 IC50 = 0.15 ¦ÌM, NCI-N87 IC50 = 0.066 ¦ÌM). CH5164840 displayed high oral bioavailability in mice (F = 70.8 % ) and potent antitumor efficacy in a HCT116 human colorectal cancer xenograft model (tumor growth inhibition = 83 % ).
