Description: Voxelotor, also known as GBT-440, is a hemoglobin S allosteric modulator. GBT440 Inhibits Sickling of Sickle Cell Trait Blood Under In Vitro Conditions Mimicking Strenuous Exercise. GBT440 increases haemoglobin oxygen affinity, reduces sickling and prolongs RBC half-life in a murine model of sickle cell disease.

More Info:

Biological target: Voxelotor (GBT 440) is an inhibitor of haemoglobin S (HbS) polymerization.
In vitro activity: GBT440 produced a concentration-dependent left shift in the OEC relative to untreated SCT blood in the hypertonic phosphate buffer (Figyre 5A) indicating a dose-dependent increase in Hb-O2 affinity. Most importantly, GBT440 dose-dependently decreased the number of sickled SCT RBCs in hypertonic phosphate buffer with pH 6.9 (Figure 5B). These results indicate that GBT440 inhibits in vitro sickling of SCT RBCs under conditions mimicking extreme hypoxia, dehydration and acidosis. Collectively, these results suggest that GBT440 may inhibit sickling of SCT blood in vivo under conditions that promote sickling such as during strenuous exerecise. Reference: Hematol Rep. 2016 Sep 28; 8(3): 6637. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5062624/
In vivo activity: Compared to DMSO treated mice, three weeks of GBT440 significantly increased Hct (Fig. 1) such that the chronic anemia was effectively eliminated (Hct in age-matched C57BL/6 male mice, one of the 5 background strains of Berkeley mice, is 37%; Hct in 1 to 6 month old male and female littermate controls of the Berkeley mice is 42%). Echocardiography demonstrated that three weeks of treatment increased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and stroke volume index (stroke volume divided by body weight), as well as the pulmonary valve velocity time integral (PV VTI) (Fig. 2).
