| Description | Hypoxia is an important phenomenon in the tumor microenvironment. Hypoxic tumors are more aggressive and resistant to anti-neoplastic treatments. HIF-1? plays a major role in the response of tumors to hypoxia, and it is mainly responsible for the “angiogenic switch”. HIF-1? contributes to tumor aggressiveness, invasiveness, and resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Targeting HIF-1? is an attractive strategy, with the potential for disrupting multiple pathways crucial for tumor growth.. We review recent findings on the potential efficacy of small molecules to down-regulate HIF-1?. These promising drugs inhibit HIF-1? synthesis or transcriptional activity by blocking a variety of steps in several different signaling pathways. Blocking HIF-1? activity should not only down-regulate tumor angiogenesis, but also interfere with glycolytic metabolism and tumor cell growth. This strategy could also improve the efficiency of established tumor therapies. |
