Description |
Molidustat (BAY 85-3934) is a potent hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) inhibitor with IC50 of 480 nM, 280 nM, and 450 nM for PHD1, PHD2, and PHD, respectively. Phase 2. |

In vitro |
In vitro, Molidustat induces the transcription of hypoxia-sensitive genes in HeLa, A549, and Hep3B cells. [1]
|
In vivo |
In healthy Wistar rats and cynomolgus monkeys, Molidustat (1.5 mg/kg, p.o.) induces dose-dependent production of EPO and erythropoiesis. In rats with gentamicin-induced renal anemiabe, Molidustat (5 mg/kg, p.o.) is also effective in raising hematocrit levels while stimulating endogenous EPO production without hypertensive effects. [1]
