apoptozole apoptozole apoptozole is a drug that acts as a potent and selective inhibitor of the heat shock protein hsp70, and was one of the first compounds developed to act at this target. it induces apoptosis in susceptible cells, and displays anti-cancer, anti-malarial and antiviral activity. the promising results in animal studies makes it likely that either apoptozole or compounds with similar modes of action will be further researched as potential therapeutics in the future. apoptozoleclinical datatrade namesapoptozoleidentifiers iupac name 4--4,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)imidazol-1-yl]methyl]benzamide cas number1054543-47-3 ypubchem cid24894064chemspider29340758uniiwd0eh16qcdchemblchembl3416503chemical and physical dataformulac33h25f6n3o3molar mass625.6 g·mol−13d model (jsmol)interactive image smiles coc1=cc=c(c=c1)c2=c(n(c(=n2)c3=cc(=cc(=c3)c(f)(f)f)c(f)(f)f)cc4=cc=c(c=c4)c(=o)n)c5=cc=c(c=c5)oc inchi inchi=1s/c33h25f6n3o3/c1-44-26-11-7-20(8-12-26)28-29(21-9-13-27(45-2)14-10-21)42(18-19-3-5-22(6-4-19)30(40)43)31(41-28)23-15-24(32(34,35)36)17-25(16-23)33(37,38)39/h3-17h,18h2,1-2h3,(h2,40,43)key:zimmtpfxomajtq-uhfffaoysa-n
