Selective HIF-1 dimerization inhibitor. Blocks protein-protein interaction of recombinant HIF-1α, but not HIF-2α, with HIF-1β (IC50 = 1.3 μM). Inhibits hypoxia-induced HIF-1 activity, and decreases VEGF and CAIX expression in osteosarcoma and breast cance
Cyclocreatine, a Creatine analogue, exhibits potent bioenergetic protection by elevating ATP levels. It demonstrates the ability to traverse cell membranes, including the blood-brain barrier, wherein it undergoes phosphorylation and dephosphorylation by creatine kinases.
Cyclocommunol exhibits cytotoxicity against hepatocellular carcinoma (SMMC-7721) and gastric carcinoma (BGC-823 and SGC-7901) cell lines. It also shows strong inhibition of arachidonic acid (AA)- and collagen-induced platelet aggregation.
Cyclocurcumin, a curcumin derivative, exhibits anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulating abilities and is a potential compound for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis as predicted by the MM-PBSA method. It may have a therapeutic potential as
