KCN1
KCN1 is a p300/HIF-1α interaction inhibitor with a Kd value of 345 nM for p300-CH1. KCN1 binds to the CH1 domain of p300, blocks the assembly of the p300/HIF-1α complex, and disrupts the HIF-1α-p300/CBP interaction. KCN1 inhibits cancer cell growth, induces cancer cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. KCN1 inhibits β-galactosidase activity and downregulates the expression of VEGF, Glut1, CA9 and CAIX. KCN1 exerts anticancer activity in mouse tumor xenograft models. KCN1 can be used in research related to malignant glioma, pancreatic cancer and metastatic uveal melanoma.
