Comment: Cemdomespib (BIIB143) is an orally bioavailable small molecule modulator of heat shock (molecular chaperone) proteins with neuroprotective activity [4,6]. It contains the same noviose sugar as the antibacterial compound and heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) C-terminal inhibitor novobiocin, making it a member of the chemical class termed "novologues" or "noviomimetics" [1]. Hsp90 molecular chaperones are regarded as targets for cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and peripheral neuropathies [7]. Inhibition of Hsp90 by novologues increases expression of Hsp70 [2-3,5]. It is this latter mechanism that is proposed to be of therapeutic benefit in treating diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
