Abstrakt: Introduction: Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is a central regulatory factor in detecting and adapting to cellular oxygen stress. Dysregulation of HIF is associated with various human diseases. Seven HIF modulators, including six prolyl hydroxylase (PHD) inhibitors and one HIF-2α inhibitor, have already been approved for the treatment of renal anemia and cancer, respectively.
Areas Covered: This review summarizes HIF modulators patented in the 2021-2023 period. This review provides an overview of HIF downregulators, including HIF-1α inhibitors, HIF-2α inhibitors, and HIF-2α degraders, as well as HIF upregulators, including PHD, FIH, and VHL inhibitors, and HIF-2α and HIF-3α agonists.
Expert Opinion: Efforts should be made to address the adverse clinical effects associated with approved HIF-modulating drugs, including PHD inhibitors and HIF-2α inhibitors. Identification of the specific buried cavity in the HIF-2α and an opened pocket in HIF-3α offer an avenue for designing novel modulators for HIF-2α or HIF-3α. Given the similarities observed in the binding cavities of HIF-2α and HIF-3α, it should be considered whether the approved HIF-2α inhibitors also inhibit HIF-3α. A comprehensive understanding of the HIF signaling pathway biology would lead to the development of novel small-molecule HIF modulators as innovative therapeutic approaches for a wide range of human diseases.
