MO-2097
MO-2097 is a RAF-1/HIF-1α inhibitor. MO-2097 induces RAF-1 destabilization, leading to a reduction in EMT-associated transcription factors and mesenchymal markers. MO-2097 inhibits HIF-1a protein expression mediated by hnRNPA2B1 under hypoxic and mimetic hypoxia. MO-2097 induces mitochondrial ROS, which leads to apoptosis in cells. MO-2097 effectively suppresses colorectal cancer metastasis by inhibiting the RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway. MO-2097 attenuates tumor growth in a xenograft HCT116 cell mouse model. MO-2097 can be used for the study of colorectal cancer.

Biological Activity
MO-2097 (10-30 μM, 24-48 h) suppresses cell migration in DLD-1 cells and HCT116 cells[1]. MO-2097 (10-50 μM, 1-6 h) inhibits the RAF/MEK/ERK cascade driven by RAF-1 in DLD-1 cells and HCT116 cells[1]. MO-2097 (10-30 μM, 5-9 days) inhibits the invasiveness of colorectal cancer cells (DLD-1 cells and HCT116 cells) in a 3D tumor spheroid[1]. MO-2097 (30-100 μM, 4 h) inhibits angiogenesis by suppressing tube formation in HUVECs[1]. MO-2097 (25-500 μM, 24 h) exhibits low toxicity, directly binds to hnRNPA2B1, and suppresses HIF-1a expression in HeLa CCL2 cells and HCT116 cells[2]. MO-2097 (25-50 μM, 24 h) inhibits the HIF-1a target gene mRNA (HK1, MRP1, SLC1A5, IL-6, and VEGF) expression levels in HeLa CCL2 cells and HCT116 cells under hypoxic conditions[2]. MO-2097 (12.5-50 μM, 24 h) induces mitochondrial ROS, which leads to apoptosis, as shown by cleaved caspase 3 and 9 in HeLa CCL2 cells[2]. MO-2097 (12.5-50 μM, 7-10 days) induces a specific anticancer effect in the hypoxic zone of the 3D culture spheroid model and 3D-cultured human colon cancer organoids[2].
