Abstract

The hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway is crucial in mitigating the deleterious effects of oxygen deprivation. HIF-α is an essential component of the oxygen-sensing mechanisms and under normoxic conditions is targeted for degradation via hydroxylation by HIF–prolyl hydroxylases. Several HIF–prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (PHIs) induced erythropoietin (epo) expression in vitro and in mice, with peak epo expression ranging from 5.6- to 207-fold above control animals. Furthermore, several PHIs induced fetal hemoglobin (HbF) expression in primary human erythroid cells in vitro, as determined by flow cytometry. One PHI, FG-2216, was further tested in a nonhuman primate model without and with chronic phlebotomy. FG-2216 was orally bioavailable and induced significant and reversible Epo induction in vivo (82- to 309-fold at 60 mg/kg). Chronic oral dosing in male rhesus macaques was well tolerated, significantly increased erythropoiesis, and prevented anemia induced by weekly phlebotomy. Furthermore, modest increases in HbF-containing red cells and reticulocytes were demonstrated by flow cytometry, though significant increases in HbF were not demonstrated by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). HIF PHIs represent a novel class of molecules with broad potential clinical application for congenital and acquired anemias.
