Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Jul 4;49(52):5844-6. doi: 10.1039/c3cc41858h. Epub 2013 May 24.

Abstract

Hsp90, a key target in cancer therapy, has been identified as the main partner of oleocanthal, an olive oil bioactive compound. A combination of chemical and biological assays disclosed its mechanism of action at the molecular level.
