KNK437 (218924-25-5) Inhibits constitutive and inducible HSP70 expression in non-stressed1 and heat-stressed2 cancer cells. Blocks the geldanamycin-induced induction of HSP70 and inhibition of TGF? signaling.3 Inhibits leukocyte integrin α4?7-mediated adhesion of T cells to mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule 1 (MAdCAM-1) suggesting that HSP70 is essential for ?7 integrin signalling.4 Suppresses morphine analgesic tolerance in a rodent model (100 mg/Kg).5

KNK437 inhibits the accumulation of heat shock proteins (including hsp -27, -40, -70, -72 and -105). KNK437 inhibits thermotolerance in cells with greater potency than quercetin.
