Lificiguat (YC-1) is a no-dependent soluble guanylyl cyclase(sGC) activator and a Hypoxia-inducible faction-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) inhibitor[1-3].
YC-1(0.01-100 µM;24/48 h) inhibits Wnt signaling and suppresses cell proliferation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) [4]. Combination of sorafenib and YC-1(10 µmol/L; 48 h) synergistically inhibited proliferation and colony formation of HepG2, BEL-7402 and HCCLM3 cells[5]. The level of VEGF protein in YC-1 cell culture medium decreased in a dose-dependent manner compared with the VEGF protein level in medium from untreated cells grown under hypoxic conditions[6].
YC-1-treated(30 µg/g;i.p;2 weeks) mice tumors expressed lower levels of HIF-1α, less vascularization, and lower levels of HIF-1-inducing genes than control[6]. 10 mg/kg YC-1(i.p; every three days from day 7 after transplantation) significantly suppressed the growth of both 4T1 and MDA-MB-231 umors[7]. Sevoflurane postconditioning can provide neuroprotection after hypoxic-ischemic injury. Injection of 1.52 µg of the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α inhibitor YC-1 into the left lateral ventricle 30 minutes before hypoxic-ischemic injury reversed the neuroprotection induced by sevoflurane in mice[8].
