GtoPdb Ligand ID: 12285

Synonyms: EXAMPLE 2 [WO2014102818A1] | Oxemia® | ZYAN-1 | ZYAN1
Compound class: Synthetic organic
Comment: Desidustat (ZYAN1) is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) enzymes (PHD1, PHD2, and PHD3; genes EGLN2, EGLN1 and EGLN3 respectively) [5]. It was developed as a strategy to promote erythropoietin (EPO) synthesis and erythropoiesis by stabilising HIF-α transcription factors, as a mechanism to treat anemia associated with chronic diseases. Orally active HIF-PH inhibitors are being exploited as alternatives to injectable erythropoietin stimulating drugs, such as epoetin and darbepoetin, to treat anemia.

2D Structure

An image of the ligand's 2D structure. For small molecules with SMILES these are drawn using the NCI/CADD Chemical Identifier Resolver. Click on the image to access the chemical structure search tool with the ligand pre-loaded in the structure editor. For other types of ligands, e.g. longer nucleotides and peptides, a manually drawn representation of the molecule may be provided.

Physico-chemical Properties

Calculated molecular properties are available for small molecules and natural products (not peptides). Properties were generated using the CDK toolkit. All properties were selected to enable the prediction of the Lipinski Rule-of-Five profile or ‘druglikeness’ for each ligand. For more info on each category see the help pages.

SMILES / InChI / InChIKey

SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry Specification) A specification for unambiguously describing the structure of chemical molecules using short ASCII strings. Canonical SMILES specify a unique representation of the 2D structure without chiral or isotopic specifications. Isomeric SMILES include chiral specification and isotopes.

Standard InChI (IUPAC International Chemical Identifier) and InChIKey InChI is a non-proprietary, standard, textual identifier for chemical substances designed to facilitate linking of information and database searching. An InChIKey is a simplified version of a full InChI, designed for easier web searching.

Bioactivity Comments
We have been unable to find an inhibitory constant for desidustat 's inhibition of its intended prolyl hydroxylase enzyme targets (EGLN1-3). Stabilisation of HIF-1α, increased erythropoietin levels, decreased hepcidin levels, and elevated erythropoesis are used as surrogate markers of HIF-PH inhibition.
