Targeting hypoxia-inducible factor-1, for cancer treatment: Recent advances in developing small-molecule inhibitors from natural compounds

Zhaowu Ma et al.

Summary: Rapid progress in molecular cancer biology and the discovery of new oncology drugs have opened new opportunities for cancer target discovery. HIF-1, a crucial signaling pathway related to tumorigenesis, regulates the activity of many transcription factors and downstream molecules that affect tumor growth and metastasis. Overexpression of HIF-1 alpha is strongly associated with poor prognosis in several solid cancers. Pharmacological targeting of the HIF-1 signaling pathway has been considered a new strategy for cancer therapy, but translation into clinically available treatments remains challenging.
