Roxadustat-d5 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of roxadustat by GC- or LC-MS. Roxadustat is an inhibitor of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH; IC50s = 1.4, 1.26, and 1.32 µM for HIF-PH1, HIF-PH2, and HIF-PH3, respectively). It is selective for HIF-PH over other 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, including lysine-specific demethylase 5A (KDM5A), KDM5B, -5C, -5D, and -6B (IC50s = >100 µM for all). Roxadustat (10-200 µM) stabilizes HIF-1α and HIF-2α in Hep3B hepatocellular carcinoma cells. It increases levels of secreted erythropoietin in Hep3B cells in a concentration-dependent manner and increases erythropoiesis in rats when administered at doses of 25 and 50 mg kg. Roxadustat reverses anemia in a rat model of chronic inflammation induced by peptidoglycan-polysaccharide, as well as a rat model of chronic kidneydisease induced by 5 6 nephrectomy. It reduces tumor growth and increases survival in a murine Lewis lung carcin......
Polythiazide (NSC-108161, P-2525) is used to treat fluid retention (edema) caused by a variety of causes, including congestive heart failure, severe liver disease (cirrhosis), kidneydisease, or steroid or hormonal medication.
Camostat, also known as FOY 305, is a serine protease inhibitor. Camostat is used in the treatment of some forms of cancer and is also effective against some viral infections, as well as inhibiting fibrosis in liver or kidneydisease or pancreatitis. It is an inhibitor of the enzyme transmembrane protease, serine 2 (TMPRSS2). Inhibition of TMPRSS2 partially blocked infection by SARS-CoV and Human coronavirus NL63 in HeLa cell cultures. In vitro study showed that camostat significantly reduces the infection of Calu-3 lung cells by SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19.
