Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel compounds as HIF-1α inhibitors, manufacturing process thereof, and a pharmaceutical compositions. The compounds according to the present invention having inhibition activity against HIF-1α, can be used as a therapeutic prevention and/or treatment for various solid cancers such as colon cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer and breast cancer. Also, the compounds according to the present invention are useful in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy and rheumatoid arthritis, which are aggravated by HIF-1α-mediated VEGFA expression.
Abstract:
According to the present invention, when the novel low-molecular-weight compound RSC-133 is added in a culture process for producing reprogrammed pluripotent stem cells from human differentiated cells, it can increase the efficiency of reprogramming and can significantly reduce the time required for the induction of reprogramming. Particularly, the novel compound RSC-133 can substitute for c-Myc acting as both a reprogramming factor and an oncogenic factor, and it can effectively increase the efficiency of reprogramming in both normal oxygen culture conditions and hypoxic culture conditions. In addition, RSC-133 can inhibit the induction of aging occurring in the reprogramming process, exhibits the effect of promoting cell proliferation, and induces epigenetic activation to improve culture conditions for induction of reprogramming. The present invention will contribute to optimizing a process of producing induced pluripotent stem cells from a small amount of patient-specific somatic cells obtained from various sources, and thus it will significantly improve a process of developing clinically applicable personalized stem cell therapy agents and new drugs and will facilitate the practical use of these agents and drugs. In addition, the novel low-molecular-weight compound RSC-133 can provide a cell culture medium effective for maintaining the undifferentiated state of human embryonic stem cells that are typical pluripotent stem cells. The medium composition containing RSC-133 can effectively induce the proliferation of human embryonic stem cells in an undifferentiated state and can be effectively used for the development of a system for culturing large amounts of embryonic stem cells.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treating cancer, containing cytochrome b5 reductase 3 (CYB5R3) protein as an active ingredient. Over-expression of CYB5R3 in cancer cells results in significant reduction of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) expression, which leads inhibition of cancer cells growth in vitro and in vivo. Thus, the CYB5R3 gene or protein of the present invention can be useful as an active ingredient of a pharmaceutical composition for treating cancer.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel disubstituted adamantyl derivative or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, a method for preparing the same, and a pharmaceutical anticancer or antimetastasis composition comprising the same as an active ingredient. The disubstituted adamantyl derivative of the present invention suppressed accumulation of HIF-1α, inhibiting the expression of the metastasis related protein Twist dose-dependently. Thus, the disubstituted adamantyl derivative of the invention is effective in inhibiting the expressions of the metastasis related proteins, β-catenin and RohA, and the EMT related genes such as MMP2 and MMP9, without cytotoxicity. Therefore, the disubstituted adamantyl derivative or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof of the invention can be efficiently used as a pharmaceutical anticancer or antimetastasis composition.
