Abstract
As a molecular chaperone, heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) plays important roles in the folding, stabilization, activation, and degradation of over 500 client proteins, and is extensively involved in cell signaling, proliferation, and survival. Thus, it has emerged as an important target in a variety of diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and viral infections. Therefore, targeted inhibition of HSP90 provides a valuable and promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of HSP90-related diseases. This review aims to systematically summarize the progress of research on HSP90 inhibitors in the last five years, focusing on their structural features, design strategies, and biological activities. It will refer to the natural products and their derivatives (including novobiocin derivatives, deguelin derivatives, quinone derivatives, and terpenoid derivatives), and to synthetic small molecules (including resorcinol derivatives, pyrazoles derivatives, triazole derivatives, pyrimidine derivatives, benzamide derivatives, benzothiazole derivatives, and benzofuran derivatives). In addition, the major HSP90 small-molecule inhibitors that have moved into clinical trials to date are also presented here.

Abstract
Inhibition of the Hsp90 C-terminal domain offers a promising opportunity to treat numerous diseases/indications. Furthermore, the development of Hsp90 C-terminal inhibitors (CTIs) is advantageous over N-terminal inhibitors because it avoids the detriments associated with induction of the heat shock response (HSR). However, the lack of co-crystal structures of small molecules bound to the C-terminus have hindered their development. Therefore, structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies have been pursued to optimize such inhibitors. Noviose sugar surrogates, also known as noviomimetics have been prepared to investigate the size and nature of the C-terminal domain binding pocket. Herein, we report the synthesis and anti-proliferative activity manifested by this new series of Hsp90 C-terminal inhibitors.

Abstract
DNA polymerase theta (Polθ)-mediated end joining (TMEJ) is, along with homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ), one of the most important mechanisms repairing potentially lethal DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Polθ is becoming a new target in cancer research because it demonstrates numerous synthetically lethal interactions with other DNA repair mechanisms, e.g., those involving PARP1, BRCA1/2, DNA-PK, ATR. Inhibition of Polθ could be achieved with different methods, such as RNA interference (RNAi), CRISPR/Cas9 technology, or using small molecule inhibitors. In the context of this topic, RNAi and CRISPR/Cas9 are still more often applied in the research itself rather than clinical usage, different than small molecule inhibitors. Several Polθ inhibitors have been already generated, and two of them, novobiocin (NVB) and ART812 derivative, are being tested in clinical trials against HR-deficient tumors. In this review, we describe the significance of Polθ and the Polθ-mediated TMEJ pathway. In addition, we summarize the current state of knowledge about Polθ inhibitors and emphasize the promising role of Polθ as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
Fluoride and cyanide contamination in drinking water imposes detrimental impacts on human health above their permissible limits. Hence, the quantitative detection of these colourless water-soluble toxins has attracted attention. Even though a plethora of chemosensors have been reported so far for the detection of fluoride and cyanide from various matrices, still their applicability is limited to a few examples. Nevertheless, recent advances in the syntheses of coumarin derivatives have shown significant impact on fluoride and cyanide detection. Therefore, this present review provides a brief overview of the application of coumarin-coupled molecular scaffolds towards the detection of perilous fluoride and cyanide along with their sensing mechanisms in order to develop more innovative, simple, sensitive, real-time responsive and cost-effective coumarin-based supramolecular chemosensors to promote next generation approaches towards the ultra-trace quantitative detection of these toxic anions.

Abstract
Molecular chaperones are a group of structurally diverse and highly conserved ubiquitous proteins. They play crucial roles in facilitating the correct folding of proteins in vivo by preventing protein aggregation or facilitating the appropriate folding and assembly of proteins. Heat shock proteins form the major class of molecular chaperones that are responsible for protein folding events in the cell. This is achieved by ATP-dependent (folding machines) or ATP-independent mechanisms (holders). Heat shock proteins are induced by a variety of stresses, besides heat shock. The large and varied heat shock protein class is categorised into several subfamilies based on their sizes in kDa namely, small Hsps (HSPB), J domain proteins (Hsp40/DNAJ), Hsp60 (HSPD/E; Chaperonins), Hsp70 (HSPA), Hsp90 (HSPC), and Hsp100. Heat shock proteins are localised to different compartments in the cell to carry out tasks specific to their environment. Most heat shock proteins form large oligomeric structures, and their functions are usually regulated by a variety of cochaperones and cofactors. Heat shock proteins do not function in isolation but are rather part of the chaperone network in the cell. The general structural and functional features of the major heat shock protein families are discussed, including their roles in human disease. Their function is particularly important in disease due to increased stress in the cell. Vector-borne parasites affecting human health encounter stress during transmission between invertebrate vectors and mammalian hosts. Members of the main classes of heat shock proteins are all represented in Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of cerebral malaria, and they play specific functions in differentiation, cytoprotection, signal transduction, and virulence.

Abstract
A Pd-catalyzed aerobic approach to access C4-aryl benzoxazoles by tandem C-H ortho-arylation and acid-mediated annulation of 2-amidophenol has been presented. The directing potential of the -NHCOR group over the -OH group was exploited for selective arylation adjacent to the amide group. Deuterium labeling experiments suggest that palladation predominantly occurs adjacent to the -NHCOR group and is the key step during benzoxazole formation. One-pot hydrolysis of the resulting C4-arylated benzoxazole was also accomplished to access structurally challenging 3-aryl aminophenols for further applications.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a promising target for treatment of cancer, and inhibitor bindings can generate efficient suppression on tumor in multiple ways. In this work, 140-ns molecular dynamics simulations were performed on six systems. Principal component analysis was subsequently carried out to explore the conformational diversity of HSP90. The results suggest that inhibitor bindings induce large conformational changes of HSP90, which tends to enlarge the volume of the binding pocket to facilitate the entrance of inhibitors. Hierarchical clustering analyses, the calculation of the energy contribution of each atom, and the analyses of hydrogen-bonding interactions were performed. The results indicate that 20 residues in group A of the hierarchical tree are responsible for major contributions, and van der Waals interactions as well as hydrogen-bonding interactions between important residues in HSP90 and key regions of inhibitors are the main force for promoting inhibitor bindings. We expect that this work can provide useful theoretical information for development of efficient inhibitors targeting HSP90.

Abstract
The ninety kilo Dalton molecular weight heat shock protein (Hsp90) is an attractive target for the discovery of novel anticancer agents. Several strategies have been employed for the development of inhibitors against this polypeptide. The most successful strategy is targeting the N-terminal ATP binding region of the chaperone. However, till date not a single molecule reached Phase-IV of clinical trials from this class of Hsp90 inhibitors. The other approach is to target the Cterminal region of the protein. The success with this approach has been limited due to lack of well-defined ligand binding pocket in this terminal. The other promising strategy is to prevent the interaction of client proteins/co-chaperones with Hsp90 protein, i.e., protein-protein interaction inhibitors of Hsp90. The review focuses on advantage of this approach along with the recent advances in the discovery of inhibitors by following this strategy. Additionally, the biology of the client protein/co-chaperone binding site of Hsp90 is also discussed.
