ortho-Carboranylphenoxyacetanilides as inhibitors of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 transcriptional activity and heat shock protein (HSP) 60 chaperon activity

摘要

ortho-Carboranylphenoxy derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit hypoxia-induced HIF-1 transcriptional activity using a cell-based reporter gene assay. Among the compounds synthesized, compound 1d showed the most significant inhibition of hypoxia-induced HIF-1 transcriptional activity with the IC50 of 0.53 mu M. Furthermore, compound 1h was found to possess the most significant inhibition of heat shock protein (HSP) 60 chaperon activity among the reported inhibitors: the IC50 toward the porcine heart malate dehydrogenase (MDH) refolding assay was 0.35 mu M.
