Enarodustat (development code JTZ-951; brand name Enaroy) is a drug used for the treatment of anemia, especially when associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Enarodustat functions as a inhibitor of hypoxia inducible factor-proly hydroxylase (HIF-PH).[1]

The drug was approved in September 2020 in Japan for anemia associated with CKD[2] and is currently in clinical development in the United States and South Korea.[3] The drug is being developed by Japan Tobacco and JW Pharmaceutical.[4]
