Structure-guided design of substituted aza-benzimidazoles as potent hypoxia inducible factor-1α prolyl hydroxylase-2 inhibitors

We report the structure-based design and synthesis of a novel series of aza-benzimidazoles as PHD2 inhibitors. These efforts resulted in compound 22, which displayed highly potent inhibition of PHD2 function in vitro.
