Herein we describe the identification of 4-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-5-yl}benzonitrile-based inhibitors of the hypoxia-inducible factor prolylhydroxylase domain-1 (PHD-1) enzyme. These inhibitors were shown to possess a novel binding mode by X-ray crystallography, in which the triazolo N1 atom coordinates in a hitherto unreported monodentate interaction with the active site Fe2+ ion, while the benzonitrile group accepts a hydrogen -bonding interaction from the side chain residue of Asn315. Further optimization led to potent PHD-1 inhibitors with good physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties.
