PG - 114479 LID - S0223-5234(22)00381-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ejmech.2022.114479 [doi] AB - Prolyl hydroxylase 2 (PHD2) is a key regulatory enzyme responsible for the degradation of hypoxia-inducible factor-alpha (HIF-alpha). Pharmacological inhibition of PHD2 stabilizes HIF-alpha and induces the production of endogenous erythropoietin (EPO), which is regarded as a promising strategy for the treatment of renal anemia. To date, a series of PHD2 inhibitors have been approved or advanced into clinical studies. In this study, we developed a new type of PHD2 inhibitors with the tetrahydropyridin-4-ylpicolinoylglycine scaffold by using a scaffold hopping strategy. Among them, compound 25 showed potent inhibition toward PHD2 with an IC(50) of 6.55 +/- 0.41 nM. Furthermore, compound 25 upregulated reticulocytes in C57BL/6 mice. The subacute toxicological assay demonstrated 25 has no obvious toxicity in vivo. Overall, compound 25 is a promising candidate for the treatment of renal anemia.
