Garutadustat
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Garutadustat (ISM012-042) is an orally active, selective inhibitor of PHD1 and PHD2, with IC50 values of 1.9 nM and 2.5 nM, respectively. Garutadustat stabilizes HIF1α protein in intestinal epithelial cells, thereby activating gene transcription programs associated with mucus production, tight junction formation, anti-inflammatory mediator generation and wound healing, which fundamentally promotes mucosal barrier repair and regulates intestinal immunity. Garutadustat can be used for the research of inflammatory bowel disease.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Garutadustat (ISM012-042) (6 h) stabilizes HIF1α in Caco-2 HIF1α-HiBit cells with an EC50 value of 2.0 to 3.5 μM, and retains activity under different extracellular iron concentrations[1].
Garutadustat (2.5 μM; 0-96 h) protects Caco-2 cell monolayers against DSS (HY-116282C)-induced intestinal barrier disruption[1].
Garutadustat 2 (1-10 μM; 24 h) dose-dependently reduces the mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines IL-12p35 and TNF in LPS-stimulated mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs)[1].
Garutadustat (3 μM; 25 h) maintains the localization of ZO1 at intercellular junctions in Caco-2 cells and protects against DSS-induced tight junction disruption[1].

DSS-Induced Colitis
Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis is generated by administering DSS in mouse drinking water, producing epithelial injury, barrier disruption, weight loss, diarrhea, fecal blood, colon shortening, histologic mucosal damage, and inflammatory mediator changes; the model is mainly used to study acute or chronic intestinal inflammation resembling selected features of ulcerative colitis. DSS injury is interpreted through clinical and tissue readouts rather than a single molecular endpoint: daily body weight, stool consistency, and bleeding are combined into a disease activity index, while colon length, histology, cytokines, myeloperoxidase activity, intestinal permeability, and tight-junction markers provide complementary measures of inflammation and barrier damage.
-
TNBS-Induced Colitis
TNBS-induced colitis is produced by intrarectal delivery of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid in ethanol, where ethanol disrupts the mucosal barrier and TNBS haptenates colonic proteins, generating immune-mediated colonic inflammation with weight loss, diarrhea, ulceration, transmural injury, inflammatory-cell infiltration, and cytokine responses. The model is used as an experimental intestinal inflammation model with Crohn’s disease–like features, especially when Th1-type responses, IL-12–dependent inflammation, chronic relapsing inflammation, or fibrosis-related endpoints are studied.

Research Protocol for Inflammation-related Diseases
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a cytosolic innate immune signaling platform that integrates priming signals and danger-signal activation to promote caspase-1 activation, maturation of IL-1β and IL-18, and gasdermin D-mediated pyroptotic cell death. The core experimental logic is to determine whether inflammatory disease phenotypes are driven by increased NLRP3 expression, ASC-containing inflammasome assembly, caspase-1 cleavage, GSDMD cleavage, and extracellular release of IL-1β/IL-18 rather than by nonspecific cell injury alone. The pathway is strongly linked to inflammation-related disease phenotypes because monosodium urate crystals activate NALP3/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling in gout-like crystal inflammation, cholesterol crystals activate NLRP3 inflammasomes in atherogenesis models, and DSS-induced intestinal inflammation has been reported to involve NLRP3 inflammasome activity. However, experimental colitis studies also show context-dependent protective effects of NLRP3 inflammasome co

Cell-Exclusion Zone Migration Assay
The Cell-Exclusion Zone (CEZ) migration assay is an in vitro 2D cell migration method in which a defined cell-free area is created using removable physical barriers such as silicone stoppers, allowing cells to be seeded around the barrier and subsequently migrate into the cleared zone after barrier removal. This approach enables quantification of collective cell migration by monitoring repopulation of the initially cell-free region over time using microscopy-based imaging. Compared with scratch-based wound healing assays, barrier-based exclusion methods are designed to avoid mechanical damage to the extracellular matrix and reduce injury-induced effects on boundary cells, thereby improving interpretability of migration behavior in vitro. The assay readout is typically the progressive reduction in the cell-free area or the number of cells invading the exclusion zone, reflecting coordinated cell motility relevant to physiological processes such as wound healing, epithelial repair, and ca
