The present invention concerns compositions comprising and methods of identification and use of targeting peptides selective for cancer tissue, particularly prostate or ovarian cancer tissue. The method may comprise identifying endogenous mimeotopes of such peptides, such as GRP78, IL-11Rα and hsp90. Antibodies against such targeting peptides or their mimeotopes may be used for detection, diagnosis and/or staging of prostate or ovarian cancer. In other embodiments, the compositions and methods concern novel type of gene therapy vector, known as adeno-associated phage (AAP). AAP are of use for targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to particular tissues, organs or cell types, such as prostate or ovarian cancer. In still other embodiments, targeting peptides selective for low-grade lipomas may be used for detection, diagnosis and targeted delivery of therapeutic agents.

The invention provides compositions and methods to determine or detect the activity of enzymes, including phosphotransferases such as kinases (e.g., protein, lipid, and sugar kinases) and ATP hydrolases such as ATPases, e.g., HSP90, that employ ATP as a substrate and form ADP as a product by monitoring changes in ADP.

The present disclosure provides a series of compounds which exhibit isoform selective inhibition of GRP94, a homologue of Hsp90 that is localized to the endoplasmic recticulum. Through GRP94 inhibition, these compounds are likely to manifest anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-metastasis, and immunosuppressive activities, as well as utility in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes.

The invention provides an acid addition salt of a compound of the formula (1) Also provided by the invention are processes for preparing the compound of formula (1) and alkyl analogues thereof, novel intermediates for use in the process and methods for preparing the intermediates. The invention also provides new medical uses of compounds of the formula (1) and its ethyl analogue.

Disclosed are macrocyclic compounds of formulae I-V, which are analogs of the pochonin resorcylic acid lactones, and processes for the preparation of the compounds. The compounds disclosed are useful as inhibitors of kinases and Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP 90). Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising an effective kinase-inhibiting amount or an effective HSP90-inhibiting amount of the compounds and methods for the treatment of disorders that are mediated by kinases and HSP90.

The present invention describes the inhibitors of extracellular Hsp90. The inhibition of extracellular Hsp90 leads to a reduction of the invasiveness of the tumor cells. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of molecules inhibiting extracellular Hsp90 function for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment or prevention of invasion and/or metastatic potential of cancer cells.

Methods of treating cancer with a compound of formula (I) are disclosed. Also provided are methods of treating a cancer with a KRAS mutation or an ALK+ cancer with a compound of formula (I). Further provided are methods of treating KRAS− mutated or ALK+ NSCLC with a compound of formula (I):

Provided herein are methods and systems of molecular profiling of diseases, such as cancer. The molecular profiling can be used to provide a diagnosis, prognosis, or theranosis for the disease, such as identifying a candidate treatment. The methods can detect expression levels of SPARC and HSP90. The cancer can be, e.g., a renal cell carcinoma or an interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma.

A compound inhibiting Hsp90 and a pharmaceutical composition including the same as an active ingredient are described, which compound is represented by formula 2 and suppresses the expression of Hsp90, inhibits the accumulation of HIF-1α, the Hsp90 client protein, and efficiently inhibits the activation of VEGF. The compound displays low cytotoxicity and can be effectively used as an active ingredient of an anti-cancer agent, a diabetic retinopathy treating agent, and an anti-arthritic agent.
