Product Description

Molidustat (formerly known as BAY 85-3934) is a novel potent inhibitor of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) which stimulates erythropoietin (EPO) production and the formation of red blood cells. The mean IC50 values of BAY 85-3934 for PHD1, PHD2, and PHD3 are 480 nM, 280 nM, and 450 nM, respectively. HIF stabilization by oral administration of the HIF-PH inhibitor BAY 85-3934 (molidustat) resulted in dose-dependent production of EPO in healthy Wistar rats and cynomolgus monkeys. In repeat oral dosing of BAY 85-3934, hemoglobin levels were increased compared with animals that received vehicle, while endogenous EPO remained within the normal physiological range. BAY 85-3934 therapy was also effective in the treatment of renal anemia in rats with impaired kidney function and, unlike treatment with rhEPO, resulted in normalization of hypertensive blood pressure in a rat model of CKD. Notably, unlike treatment with the antihypertensive enalapril, the blood pressure normalization was achieved without a compensatory activation of the renin-angiotensin system. Thus, BAY 85-3934 may provide an approach to the treatment of anemia in patients with CKD, without the increased risk of adverse cardiovascular effects seen for patients treated with rhEPO. Clinical studies are ongoing to investigate the effects of BAY 85-3934 therapy in patients with renal anemia.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
For PHD1, PHD2, and PHD3, the average IC50 values of BAY 85-3934 are 480 nM, 280 nM, and 450 nM, respectively. It only takes 20 minutes of exposure to 5 μM BAY 85-3934 for HeLa cells to produce detectable levels of HIF-1α. Using the hypoxia response element promoter as the control, BAY 85-3934 induced the expression of the firefly luciferase reporter gene in a cell reporter assay, with a mean (± SD) EC50 of 8.4±0.7 μM (n=4) [1].
ln Vivo
When healthy Wistar rats and cynomolgus monkeys were given the HIF-PH inhibitor BAY 85-3934 (Molidustat) orally, it stabilized HIF and caused dose-dependent production of EPO. In addition to normalizing hypertensive blood pressure in a CKD rat model, molidustat therapy, in contrast to rhEPO therapy, is effective in managing renal anemia in rats with impaired renal function [1].
Animal Protocol
Rats: 0.5 mg/kg, 1.25 mg/kg, 2.5 mg/kg, and 5 mg/kg; oral
Rats: BAY 85-3934 is prepared as a solution in ethanol:Solutol HS 15:water (10:20:70). In a repeat-dose, 26-day experiment, male Wistar rats (240–340 g in body weight) are administered vehicle or BAY 85-3934 at doses of 0.5 mg/kg, 1.25 mg/kg, 2.5 mg/kg, and 5 mg/kg. The efficacy of BAY 85-3934 (2.5 mg/kg, once-daily, oral) is also compared with that of rhEPO (25 IU/kg, 50 IU/kg, and 100 IU/kg, twice-weekly, s.c. injection). The time-course of induction of EPO mRNA expression and plasma EPO is determined at baseline and 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, and 8 h after oral administration of a single dose of BAY 85-3934 (5 mg/kg); Monkey: BAY 85-3934 is prepared as a solution in 0.5% tylose. Male and female cynomolgus monkeys (2.8–5.6 kg in body weight) are administered at doses of 0.5 mg/kg and 1.5 mg/kg at 0 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, and 96 h. Blood samples are taken at 7 h, 31 h, 55 h, 79 h, 103 h, and 168 h. Erythropoietic parameters are also evaluated after a 2-week treatment period with s.c. administration of rhEPO (100 IU/kg twice weekly at days 1, 4, 8, and 11) and BAY 85-3934 (1.5 mg/kg) once daily

*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.

  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
