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
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.
