Biological Activity
IC50: 20 μM (HIF-1, LN229-HRE-AP cells)[1]
KC7F2 (15–25 μM; 0-72 hours) exhibits a clear dose-response cytotoxicity with an IC50 value of approximately 15–25 μM depending on the cell lines, and this effect is more severe under hypoxic conditions[1].
KC7F2 (0-80 μM; 6 hours) specifically reduces the protein levels of HIF-1α in a dose-dependent manner under hypoxic conditions; strongly decrease in HIF-1α levels at concentrations above 20 μM[1].
KC7F2 does not affect the rate of HIF-1α protein degradation[1].
KC7F2 inhibits HIF-1α protein synthesis but not its mRNA transcription[1].
KC7F2 represses the phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E binding protein 1 (4EBP1)[1].
