Description

Yuchu Xiang and co-authors review research on a mitochondrial chaperone as a cancer target in a 2023 paper. The protein, mtHsp90, steadies many client proteins inside mitochondria and is abundant in tumors. Blocking it destabilizes those clients and disrupts several tumor pathways at once.

The review covers the protein's structure and function, then the inhibitor pipeline. One specific blocker, gamitrinib, has passed preclinical safety and efficacy work and is in clinical trials. Starving cancer's power-plant management is an elegant strategy; this paper maps how far the idea has traveled toward the clinic.
