NCIt definition : A benzoquinone antineoplastic antibiotic derived from the antineoplastic antibiotic
geldanamycin. Tanespimycin binds to and inhibits the cytosolic chaperone functions
of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90). HSP90 maintains the stability and functional shape
of many oncogenic signaling proteins; the inhibition of HSP90 promotes the proteasomal
degradation of oncogenic signaling proteins that may be overexpressed by tumor cells.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance being studied in the treatment of cancer. It is made from an
antibiotic called geldanamycin. Tanespimycin helps cause the breakdown of certain
proteins in the cell, and may kill cancer cells. It is a type of antineoplastic antibiotic
and a type of HSP90 inhibitor.;
