Hsp70 ATP hydrolysis is relatively weak but is stimulated by J domain-containing proteins. We identified pyrimidinone-peptoid hybrid molecules that inhibit cell proliferation with greater potency than previously described Hsp70 modulators. In many cases, anti-proliferative activity correlated with inhibition of J domain stimulation of Hsp70. {\copyright} 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.} }
