CAY10585

CAY10585 is a novel small molecule inhibitor of HIF-1α accumulation and gene transcriptional activity. In a gene reporter assay using human Hep3B and AGS cell lines, CAY10585 prevented HIF-1 transcriptional activity with IC50 values of 2.6 and 0.7 µM, respectively. It blocks HIF-1α accumulation in Hep3B cells in a concentration and time-dependent manner, with complete inhibition at a concentration of 30 µM within 12 hours. CAY10585 also significantly suppresses transcription of the HIF-1 target genes VEGF and erythropoietin at 10 µM.
