    Journal:  Pharmacological induction of the hypoxia response pathway in Huh7 hepatoma cells limits proliferation but increases resilience under metabolic stress. (Pubmed Central) -  Jul 30, 2024   
    This was accompanied by a higher resistance to the inhibition of mitochondrial respiration by antimycin A, a phenotype confirmed in Roxadustat-treated Huh7 cells and Molidustat-treated hepatoblastoma cells (Huh6 and HepG2). Overall, this study shows that HIF-inducing drugs increase the metabolic resilience of liver cancer cells to metabolic stressors, arguing for careful monitoring of patients treated with HIF-inducing drugs, especially when they are at risk of liver cancer.
  • ||||||||||  Journal:  New Therapeutic Strategies in the Treatment of CKD Anemia: Hypoxia-Induced Factor Prolyl-Hydroxylase Inhibitors (Pubmed Central) -  Dec 1, 2023   
    The drugs currently produced are roxadustat, daprodustat, vadadustat, molidustat, desidustat, and enarodustat; among these only roxadustat is currently approved and usable in Italy. The possibility of oral intake, pleiotropic activity on martial and lipidic metabolism, and the non-inferiority compared to erythropoietins make these drugs a valid alternative to the treatment of anemia associated with chronic kidney disease in the nephrologist practice.

    Investigating the role of EGLN1 in non-small cell lung cancer 2D cultures and in patient-derived 3D spheroids (Poster Area) -  Jun 28, 2022 - Abstract #EACR2022EACR_1125;    
    Conclusion EGLN1 plays a fundamental role in KRAS-mutated NSCLC and EGLN1 inhibitors represent a valuable possibility that can become part of future therapeutic strategies for this tumor. Preliminary evidence suggest that patient-derived 3D cultures may be useful to asses ex-vivo the response to the molidustat treatment, thus acquiring both a screening and a prognostic meaning.

    Journal:  Mannose Binding Lectin Is Hydroxylated by Collagen Prolyl-4-hydroxylase and Inhibited by Some PHD Inhibitors. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 8, 2022   
    Reduced MBL activity is likely to be an off-target effect of some, but not all, prolyl hydroxylase domain (PHD) inhibitors. There may be advantages in selective PHD inhibitors that would not interfere with MBL production.

    Clinical, P3 data, Journal:  Efficacy and Safety of Molidustat for Anemia in ESA-Naive Nondialysis Patients: A Randomized, Phase 3 Trial. (Pubmed Central) -  Mar 11, 2022   
    Molidustat was well tolerated, and no new safety signal was observed. In the MIYABI ND-C study, molidustat appeared to be an efficacious and generally well-tolerated alternative to darbepoetin for the treatment of renal anemia in Japanese patients who were not undergoing dialysis and were not receiving ESA treatment.

    Journal:  Structural Basis of Prolyl Hydroxylase Domain Inhibition by Molidustat. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 17, 2022   
    The inhibitors bind to the active site metal in a bidentate manner via their pyrazolone and pyrimidine nitrogens, with the triazole π-π-stacking with Tyr303 in the 2OG binding pocket. Comparison of the new structures with other PHD inhibitor complexes reveals differences in the conformations of Tyr303, Tyr310, and a mobile loop linking β2-β3, which are involved in dynamic substrate binding/product release.

    Journal:  Targeting HIF-α for robust prevascularization of human cardiac organoids. (Pubmed Central) -  Dec 16, 2021   
    Lastly, we showed that Molidustat treatment improves survival of cardiac organoids when exposed to both hypoxic and ischemic conditions in vitro. For the first time, we demonstrate that targeted HIF-α stabilization provides a robust strategy to improve endothelial expression and lumen formation in cardiac microtissues, which will provide a powerful framework for prevascularization of various microtissues in developing successful cell transplantation therapies.

    Applicability was demonstrated using a panel of PHD inhibitors, including roxadustat, molidustat, daprodustat, desidustat, vadadustat, and FG-2216, for which concentration-response curves were generated, allowing for the derivation of potency (EC) and efficacy (E) data. The broad applicability of the biosensors was established via applying hypoxia mimetic CoCl, iron chelator desferrioxamine, proteasome inhibitor MG-132, and 2-OG mimetic dimethyloxalylglycine on the assays, indicating concentration-dependent effects.

    Journal:  Stabilization of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor Promotes Antimicrobial Activity of Human Macrophages Against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. (Pubmed Central) -  Oct 28, 2021   
    Treatment of Mtb-infected macrophages with the prolyl-hydroxylase inhibitor Molidustat reduced the release of TNFα and IL-10, two key cytokines involved in the immune response in tuberculosis...Consequently, these immunological effects resulted in reduced proliferation of virulent Mtb in human macrophages. Therefore, HIFs may be attractive new candidates for host-directed therapies against infectious diseases caused by intracellular bacteria, including tuberculosis.

    Clinical, Journal:  Molidustat for Japanese Patients With Renal Anemia Receiving Dialysis. (Pubmed Central) -  Oct 9, 2021   
    In line with published literature, and as expected in this patient population, most participants had ≥1 treatment-emergent adverse event. Molidustat maintained Hb levels throughout the trial in patients receiving dialysis and previously treated with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, and was noninferior to darbepoetin.

    Preclinical, Journal:  The HIF-PHI BAY 85-3934 (Molidustat) improves anemia and is associated with reduced levels of circulating FGF23 in a CKD mouse model. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 11, 2021   
    In vitro, differentiated osteocyte-like cells exposed to an iron chelator to simulate iron depletion/hypoxia increased FGF23; repletion with holo-transferrin completely suppressed FGF23 and normalized Tfrc1. Collectively, these results support that resolving anemia using a HIF-PHI during CKD was associated with lower BUN and reduced FGF23, potentially through direct restoration of iron utilization, thus providing modifiable outcomes beyond improving anemia for this patient population.
