| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, the exploration of novel organic molecules inhibiting FIH (Factor Inhibiting HIF) was conducted because previous studies shows that HIF (hypoxia inducible factor: transcription factor) can be gently activated by inhibiting FIH. The gentle activation of HIF is effective for the treatment of ischemic disease. The research group synthesized about 70 compounds and a few compounds of them induced gentle activation of HIF.
