Biological Activity for YC 1

YC 1 is a nitric oxide-independent activator of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC). Significantly elevates cGMP levels and inhibits collagen-stimulated aggregation of washed rabbit platelets (IC₅₀ = 14.6 μM); induces relaxation in denuded phenylephrine-contracted rabbit aortic rings (EC₅₀ = 1.9 μM). Also displays antiproliferative activity in vitro and in vivo by inducing G₁ cell cycle arrest in two human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines, and in HCC xenografts in athymic SCID mice. Exhibits low cytotoxicity in non-malignant cells.
