  • Title: The prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor roxadustat: Paradigm in drug discovery and prospects for clinical application beyond anemia.
    Author: Su K, Li Z, Yu Y, Zhang X.
    Journal: Drug Discov Today; 2020 Jul; 25(7):1262-1269. PubMed ID: 32380083.
    Abstract:
    Prolyl hydroxylase (PHD) inhibitors, such as roxadustat, can stabilize hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-2α and induce erythropoietin (EPO) production under normal conditions. Roxadustat was recently approved as a first-in-class orally active drug for the treatment of renal anemia. In addition, it has garnered growing therapeutic interest for use against various diseases, such as carcinoma, neurological diseases, ocular diseases, and tissue and organ injuries. In this review, we systemically review target validation, hit identification, and further key clinical trials of roxadustat. The prospective clinical applications of PHD inhibitors are then discussed based on this marketed drug.
