Radicicol is a naturally occurring antibiotic and antifungal compound . It is known for its ability to inhibit the activity of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), a molecular chaperone that plays a crucial role in the folding and stabilization of various client proteins involved in cell signaling and regulation.

Radicicol is often used as a tool to study Hsp90-dependent processes and the functions of client proteins. Researchers use radicicol to investigate the impact of inhibiting Hsp90 on cellular pathways, protein folding, and cell viability. This compound is particularly valuable in cancer research, as many oncogenic proteins are dependent on Hsp90 for proper folding and stability.
