Active Ingredient Description
Belzutifan

Belzutifan is an inhibitor of hypoxia-inducible factor 2 alpha (HIF-2α). Belzutifan binds to HIF-2α, and in conditions of hypoxia or impairment of VHL protein function, belzutifan blocks the HIF-2α-HIF-1β interaction, leading to reduced transcription and expression of HIF-2α target genes. In vivo, belzutifan demonstrated anti-tumor activity in mouse xenograft models of renal cell carcinoma.
