Abstract: Triterpenoid derivatives and compositions comprising said triterpenoids derivatives of Formula (I) are described, wherein R?—C(O)NHOH. Said triterpenoids and compositions show capacity to bind PHD2, stabilize HIF-1? and HIF-2? proteins, activate the HIF pathway in different cell types, induce angiogenesis in human endothelial vascular cell, show neuroprotective activity in vitro and in vivo, antidiabetic activity and reduce the levels of lipids in vivo, and increase the plasma levels of Erythropoietin in vivo. The triterpenoid derivatives described act also in a selective manner and do not induce Nrf2 activation, NF-?B inhibition, STAT3 inhibition, and TGR5 activation, which are known activities of the natural triterpenoid precursors.
