| Targets |
IOX4 targets hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl-hydroxylase 2 (PHD2). PHD2 is a key enzyme that regulates the stability of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) by hydroxylating proline residues on HIF-α subunits, marking them for degradation. By inhibiting PHD2, IOX4 stabilizes HIF-α, leading to the accumulation of HIF and activation of HIF-dependent gene expression.

| ln Vitro |
IOX4 (1-100 μM; 5 hours) found that the EC50 of HIF1α-induced MCF-7, Hep3B, and U2OS were, in that order, 114 μM, 86 μM, and 49.5 μM [1].
IOX4 is a potent inhibitor of PHD2 with an IC50 of 1.6 nM. It displays >1,000-fold selectivity for PHD2 over other 2OG-dependent dioxygenases, including JMJD isoforms, FBXL11, JARID1C, BBOX1, FIH, and FTO. It inhibits prolyl hydroxylation and increases HIF-1α levels in cells (IC50 ~5.6-11.7 µM). |
| ln Vivo |
IOX4 is active in vivo, inhibiting prolyl hydroxylation and increasing HIF-1α levels in cells. It induces HIF-1α and HIF-2α expression in mice. As shown by studies with mice, IOX4 is useful for in vivo work. It induces HIFα in wildtype mice with marked induction in the brain tissue.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The primary in vitro assay for IOX4 is a PHD2 enzyme activity assay, where the enzyme is incubated with a substrate and the compound, and the hydroxylation of the substrate is measured. The IC50 of 1.6 nM is determined from dose-response curves. Its selectivity over other dioxygenases is assessed in similar assays.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for IOX4 involve treating cells with the compound and measuring its effects on HIF-α levels and HIF-dependent gene expression. The stabilization of HIF-α is assessed by Western blot or ELISA. The activation of HIF target genes is measured by qPCR or reporter gene assays.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments for IOX4 have been conducted in mice, where the compound is administered to assess its effects on HIF-α levels in various tissues. Its ability to induce HIF-α in the brain and other tissues has been demonstrated. These studies confirm its in vivo activity and utility for studying the HIF pathway.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
IOX4 has a molecular weight of 372.38 g/mol and a molecular formula of C16H20N6O4. It is a small molecule that is typically used as a research reagent. It is a potent and selective PHD2 inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.6 nM. It is active in vivo and induces HIF-α in mouse tissues.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.34 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
