Abstract

Aromatic aldehydes elicit their antisickling effects primarily by increasing the affinity of hemoglobin (Hb) for oxygen (O2). However, challenges related to weak potency and poor pharmacokinetic properties have hampered their development to treat sickle cell disease (SCD). Herein, we report our efforts to enhance the pharmacological profile of our previously reported compounds. These compounds showed enhanced effects on Hb modification, Hb-O2 affinity, and sickling inhibition, with sustained pharmacological effects in vitro. Importantly, some compounds exhibited unusually high antisickling activity despite moderate effects on the Hb-O2 affinity, which we attribute to an O2-independent antisickling activity, in addition to the O2-dependent activity. Structural studies are consistent with our hypothesis, which revealed the compounds interacting strongly with the polymer-stabilizing αF-helix could potentially weaken the polymer. In vivo studies with wild-type mice demonstrated significant pharmacologic effects. Our structure-based efforts have identified promising leads to be developed as novel therapeutic agents for SCD.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
