Abstract

A combination of structure-based drug design and medicinal chemistry efforts led us from benzimidazole-2-carboxamide with modestly active hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase 2 inhibition to certain benzimidazole-2-pyrazole carboxylic acids that were more potent as well as orally efficacious stimulators of erythropoietin secretion in our in vivo mouse model. To better understand the structure-activity relationship, it was necessary to account for (i) the complexation of the ligand with the active site Fe
