Excerpt
Hypoxia induces the transcription of various genes that are involved in angiogenesis and anaerobic metabolism necessary for the growth of tumor cells. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α regulates genes that are involved in the response to hypoxia and promotes neoangiogenesis in cancer. Thus, 6-(1-oxobutyl)-5,8-dimetoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (OXO) was synthesized, to develop an anticancer agent with antiangiogenic activity in hypoxic cancer cells. …
