Application

YC-1 has been used as a hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) inhibitor:
  • to reduce hypoxia induced Jagged1 expression in cardiomyocytes (CMs)
  • to study its effect on progenitor expansion and CD34+ and side population (SP) cell phenotype and on the proliferation rate of cells with an ability to form long term colony forming units
  • to study its effect on regulating sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) bound to albumin induced plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) expression by activating Rho/ Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) pathway.

Biochem/physiol Actions

NO (nitric oxide)-independent activator of soluble guanylyl cyclase.
YC-1 activates soluble guanylyl cyclase and prevents platelet aggregation and vascular contraction. It has a potential to treat circulation disorders. YC-1 also has an ability to inhibit hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) activity in vitro. It acts as a potential antiangiogenic anticancer agent.

Retinal neovascularization (NV) is a major cause of blindness in ischemic retinopathies. Previous investigations have indicated that ischemia upregulates GFAP and PDGF-B expression. GFAP overexpression is a hallmark of reactive gliosis (RG), which is the major pathophysiological feature of retinal

This study aimed to establish a therapeutic strategy targeting hypoxic cancer cells in gastric carcinoma (GC). YC-1 is a HIF-1α inhibitor, and we revealed that low-dose YC-1 (10 µM) suppressed HIF-1α expression, and induced hypoxia-dependent apoptosis in the GC cell line
