- Discovery of Molidustat (BAY 85-3934): A Small-Molecule Oral HIF-Prolyl Hydroxylase (HIF-PH) Inhibitor for the Treatment of Renal Anemia
-
Small-molecule inhibitors of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylases (HIF-PHs) are currently under clinical development as novel treatment options for chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated anemia. Inhibition of HIF-PH mimics hypoxia and leads to increased erythropoietin (EPO) expression and subsequently increased erythropoiesis. Herein we describe the discovery, synthesis, structure–activity relationship (SAR), and proposed binding mode of novel 2,4-diheteroaryl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-ones as orally bioavailable HIF-PH inhibitors for the treatment of anemia. High-throughput screening of our corporate compound library identified BAY-908 as a promising hit. The lead optimization program then resulted in the identification of molidustat (BAY 85-3934), a novel small-molecule oral HIF-PH inhibitor. Molidustat is currently being investigated in clinical phase III trials as molidustat sodium for the treatment of anemia in patients with CKD.

- Cyanoamidine P2X7 antagonists for the treatment of pain
-
Novel cyanoamidines compounds of formula (I) and (II) and their derivatives wherein R1-R12 are as defined in the specification act as antagonists of the P2X7 receptor. These compounds are particularly useful in the treatment of pain, inflammation and neurodegeneration states.

- 4-(PYRIDIN-3-YL)-2-(PYRIDIN-2-YL)-1,2-DIHYDRO-3H-PYRAZOL-3-ONE DERIVATIVES AS SPECIFIC HIF-PROLYL-4-HYDROXYLASE INHIBITORS FOR TREATING CARDIOVASCULAR AND HAEMATOLOGICAL DISEASES
-
The object of the invention is to provide new compounds which can be used for the treatment of diseases, in particular cardiovascular and haematological diseases. The present invention describes compounds which act as specific HIF-prolyl-4-hydroxylase inhibitors and which, because of this specific in vivo action mechanism, induce HIF target genes, such as erythropoietin, and the thus produced biological processes, such as erythropoiesis, after parenteral or oral administration. The present invention relates to compounds having the general formula (I), in which A stands for CH or N, R1 stands for a substituent selected from the group formed by (C1-C6)-alkyl, trifluoromethyl, halogen, cyano, nitro, hydroxy, (C1-C6)-alkoxy, amino, (C1-C6)-alkoxycarbonyl, hydroxycarbonyl and C(=O)-NH-R4; R2 stands for a substituent selected from the group formed by halogen, cyano, nitro, (C1-C6)-alkyl, trifluoromethyl, hydroxy, (C1-C6)-alkoxy, trifluoromethoxy, amino, hydroxycarbonyl and C(=O)-NH-R8; m equals 0, 1 or 2; n equals 0, 1, 2 or 3, it being possible for these meanings to be the same or different when R1 or R2 occurs multiple times; and R3 stands for hydrogen, (C1-C6)-alkyl or (C3-C7)-cycloalkyl. The invention also relates to the salts, solvates, and salt solvates of these compounds.
