MedKoo Cat#: 525715 | Name: Molidustat
Featured New

Description:

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

Molidustat, also known as BAY 85-3934, is a novel inhibitor of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) prolyl hydroxylase (PH) which stimulates erythropoietin (EPO) production and the formation of red blood cells. Phase I data have shown that inhibition of HIF-PH by Molidustat results in an increase in endogenous production of EPO. Molidustat is currently clinical trials at Bayer for the treatment of patients suffering from renal anemia due to chronic kidney disease.

Biological target:
Stabilizes HIF-1α and inhibits prolyl hydroxylase.
In vitro activity:
Using this cell model Molidustat was observed to stabilize HIF-1α in the case of the highest (50 μM) concentration of the compound (Fig. 1A), however, the expression of VEGF, a known HIF-1-dependent gene, was increased already by 10 µM molidustat after 24 h treatment. Both VEGF mRNA expression and protein release to the media were increased after 24 h and 48 h (Fig. 1 B, C). his compound enhanced VEGF expression to a similar or even higher level as hypoxia (Fig. 1 B, C). At the highest dose (50 μM), a nearly two-fold decrease in cell survival was observed after 72 h as compared to 48 h (Fig. 2A). Additionally, the clonogenic potential of MDA-MB-231 cells in response to molidustat was tested. The ability of cells to form colonies was slightly impaired after 10 μM molidustat (Fig. 2B). However, the number of colonies was greatly diminished in the wells with 25 μM inhibitor added. At the highest concentration, cell survival was dramatically affected to the level, where no colonies could be observed. To check whether molidustat induces cell apoptosis, flow cytometry analysis using double staining with Hoechst/7-AAD was performed. There was an increase in the apoptotic fraction after 72 h of the treatment only at the highest inhibitor concentration in comparison to untreated cells (Fig. 2C). However, the percentage of apoptotic cells was rather small (up to 8%) pointing at other pathways implemented in the decreased breast cancer cell viability.

In vivo activity:
HIF stabilization by oral administration of the HIF-PH inhibitor BAY 85-3934 (molidustat) results in dose-dependent production of EPO in healthy Wistar rats and cynomolgus monkeys. Molidustat therapy is aldo effective in the treatment of renal anemia in rats with impaired kidney function and, unlike treatment with rhEPO, resulted in normalization of hypertensive blood pressure in a rat model of CKD Reference: PLoS One. 2014 Nov 13;9(11):e111838. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4230943/
