HIF-1alpha/2alpha Inhibitor

Uses

FM19G11 has been used as ahypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF- 1α):

• to study the effects ofFM19G11-loaded gold nanoparticles (NPs) on self-renewal and proliferation of ependymal stem progenitor cells (epSPCs) of mice
• to study its effects on the O6-methylguanine DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) expression in glioblastoma (GBM) cells
• to study its effects on microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) expression in melanoma cell line

Definition

ChEBI: 3-[[(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-oxomethyl]amino]benzoic acid [2-(4-methylphenyl)-2-oxoethyl] ester is a member of benzamides.

Biochem/physiol Actions

FM19G11 is an inhibitor of Hypoxia Inducible Factors α (HIFα), reported to affect self-renewal and differentiation of stem cells. Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are transcription factors that respond to changes in available oxygen in the cellular environment. Among other functions (like angiogenesis), HIFα proteins affect the self-renewal and the differentiation processes of stem cells. FM19G11 inhibits the HIFα proteins that repress the target genes of the two α subunits, in various tumor cell lines as well as in adult and embryonic stem cell (ESC) models.
