    Abstract: The development of resistance against radio- or chemotherapy is one of the main causes for relapse after treatment and ultimately cancer progression. Local hypoxia within tumors is associated with radio- and chemoresistance as well as aggressive tumor growth and invasion (Vaupel et al., 2004). The transcription factor HIF-1α (hypoxia-inducible factor) is stabilized under low oxygen tension and heterodimerizes with HIF-1ß to regulate the expression of a plethora of genes involved in cellular energy metabolism, neoangiogenesis, anti-apoptotic and pro-proliferative mechanisms promoting tumor progression and metastasis (Calzada et al. 2007). Because hypoxia-induced upregulation of HIF-1α appears to be of pivotal importance in tumor resistance mechanisms during cancer treatment, we screened for inhibitors of hypoxia-induced HIF-1 activation. A HCT116 cell line containing 4X-hypoxia response element-luciferase reporter was used in high-throughput screening of small molecule inhibitors under hypoxic condition (1% O2). Lead optimization resulted in the identification of BAY 87-2243, a highly selective and potent inhibitor of hypoxia-induced HIF-1α stabilization and activation. In vitro characterization showed that BAY 87-2243 specifically suppressed HIF-1 regulated target genes as assayed by qPCR. Analyses addressing the mode of action revealed that BAY 87-2243 acts upstream of VHL and PHD because the compound did not suppress HIF-1α protein stabilization and HIF target gene expression either in the presence of a PHD inhibitor in H460 cells or in VHL-null RCC4 cells. In preclinical animal models, BAY 87-2243 dosed orally was well tolerated at therapeutic doses up to 15 mg/kg and showed moderate to high anti-tumor growth inhibitory activity as monotherapy in various subcutaneous and orthotopic xenograft models. Analysis of tumor samples demonstrated a decrease of nuclear HIF-1α protein level by immunohistochemistry as well as a specific suppression of HIF-1 target genes. These data indicate that specific inhibition of hypoxia-induced HIF-1 activation is achievable with small molecule inhibitors and is a novel approach to cancer therapy.
