Biological activities

PX-478 is a hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1)α inhibitor. PX-478 inhibits the hypoxia-induced increase in HIF-1α protein in PC-3, MCF-7, HT-29, Panc-1, BxPC-3 cell lines.PX-478 also decreases the low but measurable HIF-1α protein levels observed in PC-3 prostate and Panc-1 pancreatic cancer cells under normoxic conditions with IC50 of 2.5 and 3.2 µM, respectively. PX-478 also lowers HIF-1α levels in isogenic HCT116 p53+/+ and HCT116 p53-/- cells. PX-478 treatment results in decreased levels of HIF-1α mRNA, decreases translation of HIF-1α protein during both normoxia and hypoxia, and increases deubiquitination of HIF-1α.[1]PX-478 reduces cell survival and enhances the radiosensitivity of prostate carcinoma cells irradiated under normoxic and hypoxic condition. [2] PX-478 given to mice suppresses HIF-1α levels in HT-29 human colon cancer xenografts. Administration of PX-478 to mice results in a significant decrease in tumor HIF-1α staining, with a maximum decrease at 5 hours to 29.3% of non-drug-treated tumor values. PX-478 inhibits tumor HIF-1α and the expression the downstream genes for VEGF and Glut-1.[3] PX-478 inhibits adaptive postradiation tumor HIF-1α signaling in vivo and provides durable enhancement of radiation growth delay.

Protocols

PX-478 is prepared in 0.9% NaCl. [3]
