Analogues of dealanylalahopcin are inhibitors of human HIF prolyl hydroxylasesImre Schlemminger
Oxford Centre for Molecular Sciences, Dyson Perrins Laboratory, South Parks Road, UK
Bioorg Med Chem Lett 13:1451-4. 2003..Analogues of the naturally occurring cyclic hydroxamate dealanylalahopcin, which is an inhibitor of procollagen prolyl-4-hydroxylase, were synthesised and shown to be inhibitors of the human hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylases...

Oxford Centre for Molecular Sciences, Department of Chemistry, Mansfield Road, Oxford OX1 3TA, UK
Biochem Biophys Res Commun 338:617-26. 2005..We review biochemical and physiological data that demonstrate a central role for these oxygenases in integrating multiple signals that coordinate cellular responses to hypoxia...
Disruption of dimerization and substrate phosphorylation inhibit factor inhibiting hypoxia-inducible factor (FIH) activityDavid E Lancaster
Department of Chemistry and the Oxford Centre for Molecular Sciences, Chemistry Research Laboratory, Mansfield Road, Oxford OX1 3TA, UK
Biochem J 383:429-37. 2004..Consistent with this, we show that phosphorylation of Thr-796 prevents the hydroxylation of Asn-803 by FIH...
The use of dioxygen by HIF prolyl hydroxylase (PHD1)Luke A McNeill
Oxford Centre for Molecular Sciences, Dyson Perrins Laboratory, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3QY, UK
Bioorg Med Chem Lett 12:1547-50. 2002..Mutation of the arginine proposed to bind 2-oxoglutarate and of the 2His-1-carboxylate iron(II) binding motif in PHD1 dramatically reduces its activity. The source of the oxygen of the product alcohol is (>95%) dioxygen...
Delivery of erythropoietin by encapsulated myoblasts in a genetic model of severe anemiaChristopher Rinsch
, Lausanne, Switzerland
Kidney Int 62:1395-401. 2002..By preventing this reaction using immunosuppression, we demonstrate that encapsulated myoblasts can deliver therapeutic doses of mouse Epo systemically and restore hemopoiesis in a genetic model of severe anemia...
