Title:	1:1 adducts of sickle hemoglobin
Abstract:	Provide herein are 1:1 adducts of sickle hemoglobin (HbS) and a compound of formula (I), as defined herein, suitable as modulators of HbS, and methods for their use in treating disorders mediated by hemoglobin and disorders that would benefit from tissue and/or cellular oxygenation.
Inventor(s):	Metcalf; Brian W. (South San Francisco, CA)
Assignee:	GLOBAL BLOOD THERAPEUTICS, INC. (South San Francisco, CA)
Application Number:	14/167,632
Patent Claims:	1. A method for increasing oxygen affinity of sickle hemoglobin (HbS) in vivo in a patient in need thereof which method comprises administering to said patient a sufficient amount of 2-(((2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyridin-3-yl)oxy)methyl)-6-hydroxyben- zaldehyde or a salt thereof such that said 2-4(2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyridin-3-yl)oxy)methyl)-6-hydroxybenz- aldehyde or a salt thereof binds to HbS to form a 1:1 adduct in vivo and further wherein said adduct increases the oxygen affinity of said HbS. 2. A method for inhibiting sickling of HbS in a patient which method comprises administering to said patient a sufficient amount of a composition comprising 2-(((2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyridin-3-yl)oxy)methyl)-6-hydroxyben- zaldehyde or a salt thereof such that said 2-(((2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyridin-3-yl)oxy)methyl)-6-hydroxyben- zaldehyde or a salt thereof binds to HbS to form, in vivo, a 1:1 adduct thereby inhibiting sickling of HbS.
