Molidustat CAS 1154028-82-6
Oral HIF Prolyl Hydroxylase Inhibitor (Anemia / CKD)
Molidustat (CAS 1154028-82-6), also BAY 85-3934, is an oral HIF prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) inhibitor that stabilizes HIF-α, increasing endogenous erythropoietin (EPO) and improving iron utilization to treat anemia of CKD. A hypoxia-mimetic mechanism similar to daprodustat, with its own selectivity and PK. Formula C13H14N8O2, MW 314.30. Research-grade with COA.

Key Molecular Targets & Pathway Nodes
Molidustat engages the molecular machinery and pathway nodes that define its research utility.
How Molidustat Works: A Hypoxia Mimetic for Red-Cell Production
Molidustat blocks HIF-PH, stabilizing HIF-α to drive endogenous EPO and iron use
Inhibition of HIF Prolyl Hydroxylases
Molidustat blocks the oxygen-sensitive HIF-PH (PHD) enzymes that hydroxylate HIF-α for degradation, mimicking low-oxygen signaling.
Stabilization of HIF-α & EPO Induction
HIF-α accumulates and activates erythropoietin (EPO) transcription and other hypoxia-response genes.
Iron Mobilization & Erythroid Maturation
The HIF program lowers hepcidin and improves iron availability, maturing red cells to correct anemia of CKD — the same hypoxia-mimetic class as daprodustat.
