A novel approach to cancer therapy using PX-478 as a HIF-1α inhibitor

A novel approach to cancer therapy using PX-478 as a HIF-1α inhibitor Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is a transcription factor produced by tumor cells under hypoxic conditions, and a key regulator of a number of genes important in cancer biology. Over-expression of HIF-1α in human tumors is associated with poor prognosis and poor therapeutic outcomes and HIF-1α has been suggested as a novel target for cancer therapy. This article provides a review of PX-478 as the first novel HIF-1α inhibitor in clinical stage for the treatment of solid tumors. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Archives of Pharmacal Research Springer Journals

Abstract

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is a transcription factor produced by tumor cells under hypoxic conditions, and a key regulator of a number of genes important in cancer biology. Over-expression of HIF-1α in human tumors is associated with poor prognosis and poor therapeutic outcomes and HIF-1α has been suggested as a novel target for cancer therapy. This article provides a review of PX-478 as the first novel HIF-1α inhibitor in clinical stage for the treatment of solid tumors.
