Prolyl Hydroxylase Domain 2 (PHD2) has been identified as a key oxygen sensor in humans along with Factor Inhibiting Hypoxia Inducible Factor (FIH). As such PHD2 and FIH play critical roles in myriad pathways of medical relevance by hydroxylation of their target substrate hypoxia inducible factor (HIF), a transcription factor responsible for the regulation of over 100+ genes. With such critical roles in human physiology the ability to selectively regulate these two enzymes could potentially lead the way for novel therapeutic treatments of a vast array of disease states from cancer to myocardial infarction. We report on three classes of …
