Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

VH-298 is a potent VHL inhibitor that stabilizes HIF-α and elicits a hypoxic response via a different mechanism, that is the blockade of the VHL:HIF-α protein-protein interaction downstream of HIF-α hydroxylation by PHD enzymes. VH298 represents a high-quality chemical probe of the HIF signalling cascade and an attractive starting point to the development of potential new therapeutics targeting hypoxia signalling.

More Info
Biological target:
VH-298 is a highly potent inhibitor of the VHL:HIF-α interaction with a Kd value of 80 to 90 nM, used in PROTAC technology.
In vitro activity:
VH298 increased the HIF-1α protein level in both the KO and WT groups and synchronously up-regulated IL-17 and GLUT1 expression in Th17 cells (Figure 6A). As expected, accumulation of HIF-1α partially restored Th17 cell differentiation in KO mice (Figure 6B). Moreover, expression of Rorγt also significantly increased upon VH298 stimulation (Figure 6C). Reference: Front Immunol. 2020 Aug 18;11:2040. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32973810/
In vivo activity:
VH298-treated wounds in rats healed much faster than the PBS-treated wounds at postoperative days 7, 14, and 21, and no significant effect in the very early stage (3 days) was observed (Figure 3(a)). Reference: J Diabetes Res. 2019 Feb 17;2019:1897174. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30911550/

Note: There can be variations in solubility for the same chemical from different vendors or different batches from the same vendor. The following factors can affect the solubility of the same chemical: solvent used for crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature. Please use the solubility data as a reference only. Warming and sonication will facilitate dissolving. Still have questions? Please contact our Technical Support scientists.
