Cannabidiol derivatives as inhibitors of the hif prolyl hydroxylases activity

Abstract

Cannabidiol quinol derivatives of Formula (I) and compositions comprising the same for use in the treatment of conditions that benefit from the inhibition of the HIF prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) activity are described. Said cannabidiol quinol derivatives of Formula (I), and compositions comprising the same, show thus capacity to inhibit PHD activities and, as a result, stabilize the HIF-1α and HIF-2α levels, activate the HIF pathway in different cell types, induce angiogenesis in human endothelial vascular cell, regulate HIF-dependent gene expression in different cell types and induce collagen contraction. Said cannabidiol quinol derivatives of Formula (I) are useful in the treatment of conditions that benefit from the inhibition of the HIF prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) activity such as stroke, traumatic injuries anemia, myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury, acute lung injury, infectious diseases, diabetic and chronic wounds, organ transplantation, acute kidney injury or arterial diseases.
