meta-Carboranylphenoxyacetanilides were synthesized by copper catalyzed coupling reaction of meta-carborane and phenyl iodides. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit hypoxia-induced HIF-1 transcriptional activity using a cell-based reporter gene assay. Among the compounds synthesized, meta-carborane containing phenoxyanilides 2d and 2h, which have an isobutyl group on meta-carborane, exhibited significant inhibition of hypoxia-induced HIF-1 transcriptional activity toward HeLa cell-based reporter gene assay with the IC50 values of 0.73 and 0.55 mu M, respectively.
