General description

Dimethyl N-oxalyl-D-phenylalanine (DM-NOFD) is a small FIH (factor-inhibiting) inhibitor molecule.

Biochem/physiol Actions

DM-NOFD is a cell penetrant, prodrug of NOFD a potent and selective inhibitor of an asparaginyl hydroxylase FIH (factor-inhibiting HIF). DM-NOFD efficiently reduces HIF1a CAD (C-terminal activating domain) hydroxylation in MCF-7 cells.

A set of four non-heme iron(II) and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent enzymes catalyze the post-translational modification of a transcription factor, hypoxia inducible factor (HIF), that mediates the hypoxic response in animals. Hydroxylation of HIF both causes its degradation and limits its activity. We

The hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) system orchestrates cellular responses to hypoxia in animals. HIF is an α/β-heterodimeric transcription factor that regulates the expression of hundreds of genes in a tissue context-dependent manner. The major hypoxia-sensing component of the HIF system involves
