TABLE 2.

Summary of known HSP60 inhibitorsa.

Class Inhibitor Effect References
Mizoribine Binds to the HSP60 ATPase domain and inhibits the chaperoning activity of Hsp60–Hsp10 complex Itoh et al., 1999; Tanabe et al., 2012
Natural products Epolactaene Inhibits the chaperone activity of HSP60 with yet unclear mechanism Nagumo et al., 2005; Meng et al., 2018
ETB (tert-butyl ester of epolactaene) Interacts with Cys442 of HSP60 leading to potential allosteric modulation of the ATP binding pocket Nagumo et al., 2005
Myrtucommulone A (MC) Interacts directly with HSP60 leading to aggregation and misfolding of cancer related proteins Wiechmann et al., 2017
Stephacidin B Performs anticancer activities Qian-Cutrone et al., 2002; Wulff et al., 2007
Avrainvillamide Anticancer activities Fenical et al., 2000
Synthetic compounds O-carboranylphenoxyacetanilide Binds to HSP60 and inhibits the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) activation Ban et al., 2010
Gold (III) porphyrin complexes such as A prototype gold (III) complex [Au(TPP)Cl] (10) Despite its poorly understood mechanisms, it suppresses HSP60 and performs significant anticancer activities Lease et al., 2013; Teo et al., 2014; Hu et al., 2016
