Inhibition of the hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) pathway by disrupting its association with transcriptional coactivator p300 inhibits angiogenesis and tumor development. Development HIF-1α/p300 inhibitors has been hampered preclinical toxicity; therefore, we aimed to identify novel inhibitors. Using a cell-free assay designed test compounds that block binding, 170 298 crude natural product extracts prefractionated samples were screened, identifying 25 active extracts. One these...

The l-type amino acid transporter (LAT) family consists of four members (LAT1–4) that mediate uptake neutral acids including leucine. Leucine is not only important as a building block for proteins, but plays critical role in mTORC1 signaling leading to protein translation. As such, LAT are commonly upregulated cancer order fuel increased translation and cell growth. To identify potential LAT-specific inhibitors, we established function-based high-throughput screen using prefractionated...
