4-OXO-1,4-DIHYDRO-[1,10]PHENANTHROLINE-3-CARBOXYLIC ACID

biological activity

1,4-DPCA, a potent and selective inhibitor of prolyl-4-hydroxylase, is also an inhibitor of collagen hydroxylation in chemicalbook cells of human foreskin fibroblasts with IC50 of 2.4µM. 1,4-DPCA inhibits the alpha isoform of prolyl-4-hydroxylase and stabilizes HIF-1alpha protein.

Description

1,4-DPCA (331830-20-7) is a potent inhibitor of prolyl 4-hydroxylase (IC50=2-4 μM).1 Inhibits collagen deposition via inhibition of collagen proline hydroxylation.2,3 Subcutaneous injection of a 1,4-DPCA containing hydrogel into Swiss Webster mice that do not show a regenerative phenotype increased expression of HIF1α over 5 days. Multiple injections led to regenerative wound healing after ear hole punch injury.4

Uses

1,4-DPCA nis a potent competitive inhibitor of avian prolyl 4-hydroxylase in embryonic chick tendon cells and human foreskin fibroblasts in vitro. It is a promotor of wound healing and tissue regeneration in mice.
