DESIGN, SYNTHESIS, AND INVESTIGATION OF NOVEL NITRIC OXIDE (NO)-RELEASING AROMATIC ALDEHYDES AS DRUG CANDIDATES FOR THE TREATMENT OF SICKLE CELL DISEASE

Design, Synthesis, and Investigation of Novel Nitric Oxide (NO)-Releasing Aromatic Aldehydes as Drug Candidates for the Treatment of Sickle Cell Disease

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is caused by a single-point mutation, and the ensuing deoxygenation-induced polymerization of sickle hemoglobin (HbS), and reduction in bioavailability of vascular nitric oxide (NO), contribute to the pathogenesis of the disease.In a proof-of-concept study, we successfully incorporated nitrate ester groups onto two previou
