Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible Factor 1 (HIF-1) is a transcriptional activator that intervenes in versatile reactions to hypoxia. Natural drugs, widely distributed in plants, comprise many metabolites, possessing their potential as anti-cancer agents. Studies have highlighted HIF-1 as a potential pharmacological target for cancer therapy. Secondary metabolites derived from natural products (plant-derived or marine organisms) with unique chemical structures have demonstrated HIF-1 inhibition. Ganetespib, topotecan, PX-478, aminoflavone, fluorine-19-fluoroded xyglucose, etc. have entered clinical phases of evaluation for different types of cancer. The present work describes role of HIF-1 in tumor progression, summarizes plant based inhibitors such as berberine, rohitukine, harringtonine, acronycin, nuciferine, evodiamine, matrine, etc. Some of the major categories with HIF-1 inhibitory potential are alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, etc. The manuscript aims to benefit the discovery and development of anti-cancer therapeutics from natural compounds.
期刊介绍:
Medicinal Chemistry Research (MCRE) publishes papers on a wide range of topics, favoring research with significant, new, and up-to-date information. Although the journal has a demanding peer review process, MCRE still boasts rapid publication, due in part, to the length of the submissions. The journal publishes significant research on various topics, many of which emphasize the structure-activity relationships of molecular biology.
