Molidustat sodium
Based on 8 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Molidustat sodium is an orally active inhibitor of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) with IC50 values of 480 nM, 280 nM, and 450 nM for PHD1, PHD2, and PHD3, respectively. Molidustat sodium can elevate the levels of circulating erythropoietin (EPO) to near-normal physiological ranges. Molidustat sodium can be utilized in the research of renal anemia.

Molidustat sodium (5 μM; 20 min) is sufficient to induce detectable levels of HIF-1α in HeLa cells. In a cell reporter assay, Molidustat sodium induces expression of a firefly luciferase reporter gene under the control of a hypoxia response element promoter with a mean (± SD) EC50 of 8.4 μM (n=4)[1]
