Abstract

The hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway is crucial in mitigating the deleterious effects of oxygen deprivation. HIF-alpha is an essential component of the oxygen-sensing mechanisms and under normoxic conditions is targeted for degradation via hydroxylation by HIF-prolyl hydroxylases. Several HIF-prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (PHIs) induced erythropoietin (epo) expression in vitro and in mice, with peak epo expression ranging from 5.6- to 207-fold above control animals. Furthermore, several PHIs induced fetal hemoglobin (HbF) expression in primary human erythroid cells in vitro, as determined by flow cytometry. One PHI, FG-2216, was further tested in a nonhuman primate model without and with chronic phlebotomy. FG-2216 was orally bioavailable and induced significant and reversible Epo induction in vivo (82- to 309-fold at 60 mg/kg). Chronic oral dosing in male rhesus macaques was well tolerated, significantly increased erythropoiesis, and prevented anemia induced by weekly phlebotomy. Furthermore, modest increases in HbF-containing red cells and reticulocytes were demonstrated by flow cytometry, though significant increases in HbF were not demonstrated by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). HIF PHIs represent a novel class of molecules with broad potential clinical application for congenital and acquired anemias.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
