Oltipraz (RP 35972) is a synthetic dithiolethione with potential chemopreventive and anti-angiogenic properties. Oltipraz induces phase II detoxification enzymes, such as glutathione S transferase (GST) and NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1). The induction of detoxification enzymes enhances the detoxification of certain cancer-causing agents, thereby enhancing their elimination and preventing carcinogen-induced DNA damages. Although the exact mechanism through which the anti-angiogenesis effect remains to be fully elucidated, oltipraz maybe able to modulate the expression of a number of angiogenic factors, thereby blocking the sustained and focal neovascularization in multiple tumor cell types.

Citric acid trilithium salt tetrahydrate (Lithium citrate tribasic tetrahydrate) , the active component of Lithium, is a medicine used in the therapy of psychiatric disease. It has shown the effects of signaling pathways and metabolic in the brain based on the particular disease and clinical condition model. According to the reports, Citric acid trilithium salt tetrahydrate was used as a mood stabilizer when treating bipolar mood disorders (BD) and lower the risk of self-harm in BD patient. In addition,Citric acid trilithium salt tetrahydrate has been the choice drug in the therapy of acute manic episodes.Citric acid trilithium salt tetrahydrate also could dissolve uric acid crystals in urine achieved from patients with gout. Besides,Citric acid trilithium salt tetrahydrate have some dose-dependent side-effects. The the main side-effects of Lithium Citrate is the tendency to inhibit the prostatic acid phosphatase enzyme (PAP), which result in the accumulation of PAP.

Allopurinol (Zyloric) is a Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitor. The mechanism of action of allopurinol is as a Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitor.

Camptothecin (CPT) belongs to the alkaloid group of natural products and is a specific DNA topoisomerase I (Topo I) inhibitor (IC50=679 nM) with specificity. Camptothecin has antitumor activity and induces apoptosis.

Hydroxycitric acid tripotassium hydrate (Potassium citrate monohydrate) is the major active ingredient of Garcinia cambogia and a derivative of citric acid, which effectively inhibits stone formation and HIF, and has antioxidation, anti-inflammation, and anti-tumor effects. It also competitively inhibits ATP citrate lyase, offering weight loss benefits.

Acriflavine Hydrochloride (Acriflavine HCl) is a HIF-1α inhibitor. It acts by targeting HIF-1α-mediated pathways and decreasing the level of PGK1, VEGF, and HIF-1α in vitro and in vivo.

2-Methoxyestradiol (2-ME2) is an orally bioavailable estradiol metabolite with potential antineoplastic activity. 2-Methoxyestradiol inhibits angiogenesis by reducing endothelial cell proliferation and inducing endothelial cell apoptosis. This agent also inhibits tumor cell growth by binding to tubulin, resulting in antimitotic activity, and by inducing caspase activation, resulting in cell cycle arrest in the G2 phase, DNA fragmentation, and apoptosis.

Sodium Aescinate (Escin sodium salt) is extracted from Aesculus wilsonii.

Pantoprazole sodium (Pantecta) is the sodium salt form of a substituted benzimidazole with proton pump inhibitor activity. Pantoprazole sodium is a lipophilic, weak base that crosses the parietal cell membrane and enters the acidic parietal cell canaliculus where it becomes protonated, producing the active metabolite sulfenamide, which forms an irreversible covalent bond with two sites of the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme located on the gastric parietal cell, thereby inhibiting both basal and stimulated gastric acid production.

AFP464 (NSC710464) free base is an active HIF-1α inhibitor (IC50: 0.25 μM) and a potent aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activator.

EL-102 is a HIF1α inhibitor with anticancer activity that inhibits microtubule protein polymerization and can be used to study prostate cancer.

PROTAC HIF-1α degrader-1 (compound V2) is an effective proteolysis-targeting chimeric (PROTAC) degrader of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), with an IC50 value of 7.54 µM. This compound exhibits anti-proliferative activity, reduces HIF-1α protein expression, and induces apoptosis.

NF-κB/HIF-1α-IN-1 (compound 9c) effectively inhibits the NF-κB activation pathway and demonstrates selective antifibrotic activity. This compound exhibits no significant cytotoxicity in NCI tumor cell lines. In rat models, NF-κB/HIF-1α-IN-1 successfully ameliorates liver fibrosis, suppresses the expression levels of NF-κB and HIF-1α, and induces Nrf2.
