Abstract

Hypoxia Inducible Factors (HIFs) are very important transcription factors that can respond to low oxygen concentrations in the cellular environment. Inhibition of HIF’s transcriptional activity represents a promising approach to new anticancer compounds. Herein, we describe the design and synthesis of a series of HIF-1 inhibitors. Evaluation of these inhibitors using a cell-based luciferase assay led to the discovery compounds with sub-micromolar potency.
