Sumario:Heat Shock Protein 90 was a key molecular chaperone involved in the proteome stability maintenance and its interference in many signaling networks associated with cancer progression, makes it of an important target for cancer therapeutics. The present study aimed to identify potential lead molecule among the selected heterocyclic compounds against Human Hsp90 (PDB: 1YET) through docking using GOLD 3.1 and pharmacophore studies using Discovery studio 2.1. On the basis of the GOLD Fitness scores, the compounds Q1G and T21 showed better binding affinity. Further the analyzed structure pharmacophore results are in consistence with the docking results indicating that both these compounds show antagonistic activity towards HSP90 respectively.
