Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Daprodustat is a hypoxia‑inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor (HIF‑PHI). By inhibiting HIF‑PHD enzymes, it stabilizes HIF‑α, promoting transcription of erythropoietic genes including EPO and iron‑handling proteins. This stimulates endogenous red‑blood‑cell production.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in anemia‑research models, hypoxia‑signalling studies, HIF‑pathway analysis, iron‑metabolism assays and erythropoiesis‑modelling research.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include hypertension, thrombotic events, neoplasia concerns, hyperkalemia and GI symptoms. Handle as a potent HIF‑pathway modulator.
