Description

Molidustat (BAY 85-3934) is an orally active inhibitor of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) with IC50 values of 480 nM, 280 nM, and 450 nM for PHD1, PHD2, and PHD3, respectively. Molidustat can elevate the levels of circulating erythropoietin (EPO) to near-normal physiological ranges. Molidustat can be utilized in the research of renal anemia[1][2].

IC50 & Target

IC50: 480 nM (PHD1), 280 nM (PHD2), 450 nM (PHD3)[1]

In Vitro

Molidustat (BAY 85-3934) (5 μM; 20 min) is sufficient to induce detectable levels of HIF-1α in HeLa cells. In a cell reporter assay, Molidustat induces expression of a firefly luciferase reporter gene under the control of a hypoxia response element promoter with a mean (± SD) EC50 of 8.4 μM (n=4)[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Molidustat (BAY 85-3934) , by stabilizing the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), leads to a dose-dependent increase in erythropoietin (EPO) in both Wistar rats (0.5-5 mg/kg; oral; once daily for 26 days) and cynomolgus monkeys (0.5-1.5mg/kg; once daily for 5 days)[1].
Molidustat (0.5-10 mg/kg; orally; five times weekly) can normalize the blood pressure in rat models of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and effectively alleviate renal anemia in rats with impaired renal function[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (1.59 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (5.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (1.59 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (5.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  0.5% CMC-Na/saline water

    Solubility: 10 mg/mL (31.82 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

Animal Administration
[1]

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)[1].

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[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
