Abstract: By Docking simulation, We find the combination between Rugulosin and N-terminal of Hsp90 which is the ATPase activity domain. Rugulosin show a strong inhibition to ATPase activity of Hsp90 and the IC50 is 22.27μM in vitro experiment. In this study, we do a research on the interaction mechanism of Rugulosin with NHsp90 protein (N-Terminal of Hsp90)by fluorescence, circular dichroism, UV - visible absorption spectroscopy, and SPR technology. fluorescence spectra experiment results show that Rugulosin cause a strong fluorescence quenching on endogenous fluorescence of Hsp90 by static quenching method. Thermodynamic analysis signify the Binding mechanism is electrostatic forces and dissociation constant is 22.4 ± 0.17μM. Circular dichroism spectra detected the α-helix of NHsp90 reducing as the Rugulosin concentration increased, This study show that Rugulosin can make a combination with NHsp90, thereby inhibiting its ATPase activity. Ruglulosin may be a potential inhibitor of Hsp90.

Key words: Rugulosin, Hsp90, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectroscopy, UV-visible absorption spectra
