Used in research to stabilize hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) by inhibiting prolyl hydroxylase enzymes. This property makes it valuable in studying cellular responses to low oxygen conditions. Commonly applied in areas such as cancer research, ischemia, and tissue regeneration. Also used to enhance angiogenesis in preclinical models. Its ability to mimic hypoxic conditions helps in understanding metabolic adaptation and stem cell differentiation. Frequently utilized in cell culture experiments to activate HIF-dependent signaling pathways.
