Synthesis of fluorescent and photoaffinity-labeled derivatives of bisphenol A and their inhibitory activity toward hypoxic expression of erythropoietin.

Abstract Bisphenol A derivatives, possessing a fluorescent dye and a photo-reactive group, were synthesized from bisphenol A, and the inhibitory activity of the derivatives was evaluated against hypoxic response. The synthesized derivatives were found to inhibit the hypoxic expression of erythropoietin in Hep3B cells as well as bisphenol A.
