(Aryloxyacetylamino)benzoic acid analogues: A new class of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 inhibitors

Structural modification of a compound discovered during screening using an HRE-dependent reporter assay has revealed a novel class of HIF-1 inhibitors, which potently inhibit the HIF-1α protein accumulation and its target gene expression under hypoxic conditions in human hepatocellular carcinoma Hep3B cells.

NOVEL COMPOUND HAVING MALATE DEHYDROGENASE INHIBITORY ACTIVITY AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION FOR PREVENTING OR TREATING CANCER COMPRISING SAME AS ACTIVE INGREDIENT

The present invention relates to a compound exhibiting inhibitory activity of at least one of malate dehydrogenases I (MDH1) and malate dehydrogenases 2 (MDH2), and a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating cancer comprising the same as an active ingredient. The inventors of the present invention have experimentally confirmed that the compound exhibiting the MDH1 and/or MDH2 inhibitory activity has an inhibitory effect on mitochondrial respiration in cancer cells, an excellent inhibitory effect on cancer cell growth, etc. Thus, the compound of the present invention is expected to be effectively used as a pharmaceutical composition for treating cancer.

Methyl 3-(3-(4-(2,4,4-Trimethylpentan-2-yl)phenoxy)-propanamido)benzoate as a Novel and Dual Malate Dehydrogenase (MDH) 1/2 Inhibitor Targeting Cancer Metabolism

Previously, we reported a hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 inhibitor LW6 containing an (aryloxyacetylamino)benzoic acid moiety inhibits malate dehydrogenase 2 (MDH2) using a chemical biology approach. Structure-activity relationship studies on a series of (aryloxyacetylamino)benzoic acids identified selective MDH1, MDH2, and dual inhibitors, which were used to study the relationship between MDH enzyme activity and HIF-1 inhibition. We hypothesized that dual inhibition of MDH1 and MDH2 might be a powerful approach to target cancer metabolism and selected methyl-3-(3-(4-(2,4,4-trimethylpentan-2-yl)phenoxy)propanamido)-benzoate (16c) as the most potent dual inhibitor. Kinetic studies revealed that compound 16c competitively inhibited MDH1 and MDH2. Compound 16c inhibited mitochondrial respiration and hypoxia-induced HIF-1α accumulation. In xenograft assays using HCT116 cells, compound 16c demonstrated significant in vivo antitumor efficacy. This finding provides concrete evidence that inhibition of both MDH1 and MDH2 may provide a valuable platform for developing novel therapeutics that target cancer metabolism and tumor growth.

COMPOUNDS THAT INHIBIT HIF-1 ACTIVITY, THE METHOD FOR PREPARATION THEREOF AND THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION CONTAINING THEM AS AN EFFECTIVE COMPONENT

Disclosed herein are an HIF-1 inhibitor, a method for the preparation thereof, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same as an active ingredient. The HIF-1 inhibitor shows anticancer activity thanks to the inhibition activity against HIF-1, a transcription factor which plays an important role in the growth and metastasis of cancer, but not to general cytotoxicity. Thus, the HIF-inhibitor and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof can be used as a therapeutic for various cancers such as liver cancer; stomach cancer and breast cancer. Also, the compound having inhibition activity against HIF-1 is useful in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy and arthritis, which are aggravated by HIF-1-mediated VEGF expression.

COMPOUNDS TEAT INHIBIT HBF-I ACTIVITY, THE METHOD FOR PREPARATION THEREOF AND THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION CONTAINING THEM AS AN EFFECTIVE COMPONENT

Disclosed herein are an HIF-I inhibitor, a method for the preparation thereof, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same as an active ingredient The BDDF-I inhibitor shows anticancer activity thanks to the inhibition activity against HIF-I, a transcription factor which plays an important role in the growth and metastasis of cancer, but not to general cytotoxicity. Thus, the HIF-inhibitor and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof can be used as a therapeutic for various cancers such as liver cancer, stomach cancer and breast cancer. Also, the compound having inhibition activity against HDDF-I is useful in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy and arthritis, which are aggravated by HEF-l-mediated VEGF expression.
