    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:  Inhibition of firefly luciferase activity by a HIF prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 7, 2021   
    D-luciferin did not inhibit the PHDs, despite its structural similarity to JNJ-1935. This study provides insights into a previously unknown JNJ-1935 off-target effect as well as into the chemical requirements for firefly luciferase and PHD inhibitors and may inform the development of novel compounds targeting these enzymes.
