Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) activators aid the treatment of renal anemia and ischemia. Recently, PyrzA (5-(1-acetyl-5-phenylpyrazolidin-3-ylidene)-1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid), a HIF activator by PHD inhibition without a 2-oxoglutarate moiety was reported. However, PyrzA has low lipophilicity, and it was necessary to improve its solubility by synthesizing derivatives. In this study, we synthesized and evaluated a higher lipophilic derivative of PyrzA and found that it exhibited higher HIF activity and stabilizing ability at low concentrations compared to Roxadustat, a commercially available HIF activator.
缺氧诱导因子 (HIF) 激活剂可辅助治疗肾性贫血和缺血。最近,有研究报道 PyrzA(5-(1-乙酰基-5-苯基吡唑烷-3-亚基)-1,3-二甲基巴比妥酸)是一种通过抑制 PHD 而不使用 2-氧戊二酸部分的 HIF 激活剂。然而,PyrzA 的亲脂性较低,需要通过合成衍生物来提高其溶解度。在本研究中,我们合成并评价了 PyrzA 的一种亲脂性更高的衍生物,结果发现与市售 HIF 激活剂 Roxadustat 相比,该衍生物在低浓度下具有更高的 HIF 活性和稳定性。
