JTZ-951 hydrochloride

Description

Enarodustat, also known as JTZ-951, is a prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor. JTZ-951 (enarodustat) stabilizes HIF-α protein and induces erythropoiesis without effects on the function of vascular endothelial growth factor. Enarodustat increases endogenous erythropoietin levels in the treatment of anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). JTZ-951 induces erythropoiesis without affecting VEGF function. JTZ-951 may be a new oral candidate that increases and maintains hemoglobin concentrations in renal anemia patients.
