DTHIB is an inhibitor of heat shock factor 1 (Hsf1). It binds to the DNA-binding domain of Hsf1 (Kd = 160 nM) and inhibits heat-induced increases in the Hsf1 target proteins heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) and Hsp70 levels in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) when used at a concentration of 10 µM. It decreases...
