Target gene or protein HIF-1, VEGF
Gene or Protein evidence Compound 1 potently inhibited hypoxia-activated HIF-1 (IC50: 0.4 microM) and hypoxia-induced VEGF (a potent angiogenic factor) in T47D cells.
Target pathways NA
IC50 Compound 1 potently inhibited hypoxia-activated HIF-1 (IC50 - 0.4 µM). Compound 1 inhibits the mitochondrial electron transport pathway (IC50 - 0.8 µM).
Potency Compound 1 inhibits HIF-1 by blocking the induction of the oxygen-regulated HIF-1alpha protein. Mitochondrial respiration studies revealed that 1 suppresses oxygen consumption.
Cell line/ mice model T47D
Additional information  Compound 1 selectively inhibits HIF-1 activation by hypoxia but not iron chelator-induced activation. Further, 1 suppresses tumor cell survival under hypoxic conditions without affecting normoxic cell growth.
