HIF-1/2α-IN-2 is a potent inhibitor of HIF-1/2α, which effectively reduces the levels of HIF-1/2α. This compound elicits an iron starvation response by specifically targeting ISCA2, a key protein involved in Iron Sulfur Cluster Assembly 2. [1]
CMC2.24 (TRB-N0224) is an orally active tricarbonylmethane agent that demonstrates effectiveness in inhibiting Ras activation and the downstream effector ERK1/2 pathway, thus effectively combating pancreatic tumor formation in mice. Additionally, CMC2.24 exerts potent inhibitory effects on zinc-dependent MMPs, with IC50s ranging from 2.0-69 μM. Furthermore, CMC2.24 aids in alleviating the progression of osteoarthritis by restoring cartilage homeostasis and inhibiting chondrocyte apoptosis through the NF-κB/HIF-2α axis[1][2][3].
