[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/799, 120, filed March 15, 2013; the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention generally relates to substituted benzaldehydes and

heteroarylaldehydes and derivatives thereof that act as allosteric modulators of hemoglobin, methods and intermediates for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing the modulators, and methods for their use in treating disorders mediated by hemoglobin and disorders that would benefit from increased tissue oxygenation.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Hemoglobin (Hb) is a tetrameric protein in red blood cells that transports up to four oxygen molecules from the lungs to various tissues and organs throughout the

body. Hemoglobin binds and releases oxygen through conformational changes, and is in the tense (T) state when it is unbound to oxygen and in the relaxed (R) state when it is bound to oxygen. The equilibrium between the two conformational states is under allosteric regulation. Natural compounds such as 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG), protons, and carbon dioxide stabilize hemoglobin in its de-oxygenated T state, while oxygen stabilizes hemoglobin in its oxygenated R state. Other relaxed R states have also been found, however their role in allosteric regulation has not been fully elucidated.

[0004] Sickle cell disease is a prevalent disease particularly among those of African and Mediterranean descent. Sickle hemoglobin (HbS) contains a point mutation where glutamic acid is replaced with valine, allowing the T state to become susceptible to polymerization to give the HbS containing red blood cells their characteristic sickle shape. The sickled cells are also more rigid than normal red blood cells, and their lack of flexibility can lead to blockage of blood vessels. Certain synthetic aldehydes have been found to shift the equilibrium from the polymer forming T state to the non-polymer forming R state (Nnamani et al. Chemistry & Biodiversity Vol. 5, 2008 pp. 1762-1769) by acting as allosteric modulators to stabilize the R state through formation of a Schiff base with an amino group on hemoglobin.

[0005] US 7, 160,910 discloses 2-furfuraldehydes and related compounds that are also allosteric modulators of hemoglobin. One particular compound 5-hydroxymethyl-2- furfuraldehyde (5HMF) was found to be a potent hemoglobin modulator both in vitro and in vivo. Transgenic mice producing human HbS that were treated with 5HMF were found to have significantly improved survival times when exposed to extreme hypoxia (5% oxygen). Under these hypoxic conditions, the 5HMF treated mice were also found to have reduced amounts of hypoxia- induced sickled red blood cells as compared to the non-treated mice. [0006] A need exists for therapeutics that can shift the equilibrium between the deoxygenated and oxygenated states of Hb to treat disorders that are mediated by Hb or by abnormal Hb such as HbS. A need also exists for therapeutics to treat disorders that would benefit from having Hb in the R state with an increased affinity for oxygen. Such therapeutics would have applications ranging, for example, from sensitizing hypoxic tumor cells that are resistant to standard radiotherapy or chemotherapy due to the low levels of oxygen in the cell, to treating pulmonary and hypertensive disorders, and to promoting wound healing.

Certain specific compounds of the present invention contain both basic and acidic functionalities that allow the compounds to be converted into either base or acid addition salts. [0028] The neutral forms of the compounds may be regenerated by contacting the salt with a base or acid and isolating the parent compound in the conventional manner. The parent form of the compound differs from the various salt forms in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents, but otherwise the salts are equivalent to the parent form of the compound for the purposes of the present invention. [0029] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient" means a carrier or excipient that is useful in preparing a pharmaceutical composition that is generally safe, nontoxic and neither biologically nor otherwise undesirable, and includes a carrier or excipient that is acceptable for veterinary use as well as human pharmaceutical use.

[0031] "Protecting group" refers to a group of atoms that, when attached to a reactive functional group in a molecule, mask, reduce or prevent the reactivity of the functional group. Typically, a protecting group may be selectively removed as desired during the course of a synthesis. Examples of protecting groups can be found in Greene and Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, 3 rd Ed., 1999, John Wiley & Sons, NY and Harrison et ah, Compendium of Synthetic Organic Methods, Vols. 1-8, 1971-1996, John Wiley & Sons, NY.

In one group of embodiments, the aldehyde protecting group is a five or six membered cyclic acetal formed from condensation of the aldehyde with ethylene or propylene glycol. In another group of embodiments the aldehyde protecting group is an imine or hydroxyimine. The aldehyde protecting groups of the present disclosure also include prodrug groups that convert the aldehyde to a prodrug, where the aldehyde is formed in vivo as the active agent under physiological conditions upon administration of the prodrug. The prodrug group can also serve to increase the bioavailability of the aldehyde. In one group of embodiments, the prodrug group is hydro lyzed in vivo to the aldehyde. In one group of embodiments, the aldehyde protecting group is a thiazolidine or N-acetylthiazolidine prodrug group. In one group of embodiments, the aldehyde protecting group is a thiazolidine prodrug group disclosed in US 6,355,661. In one group of embodiments the modulators provided herein are condensed with L-cysteine or a L-cysteine derivative to form the corresponding thiazolidine protected aldehyde prodrug. In one group of embodiments, the thiazolidine has the formula

[0033] The term "sickle cell disease" refers to diseases mediated by sickle hemoglobin (HbS) that results from a single point mutation in the hemoglobin (Hb). Sickle cell diseases includes sickle cell anemia, sickle-hemoglobin C disease (HbSC), sickle beta-plus- thalassaemia (HbS/ + ) and sickle beta-zero-thalassaemia (HbS/β 0 ).

[0034] The "subject" is defined herein to include animals such as mammals, including, but not limited to, primates (e.g., humans), cows, sheep, goats, horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, mice and the like. In preferred embodiments, the subject is a human.

[0035] "Tautomer" refers to alternate forms of a molecule that differ in the position of a proton, such as enol-keto and imine-enamine tautomers, or the tautomeric forms of heteroaryl groups containing a -N=C(H)-NH- ring atom arrangement, such as pyrazoles, imidazoles, benzimidazoles, triazoles, and tetrazoles. A person of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that other tautomeric ring atom arrangements are possible.

[0036] The terms "treat", "treating", "treatment" and grammatical variations thereof as used herein, includes partially or completely delaying, alleviating, mitigating or reducing the intensity, progression, or worsening of one or more attendant symptoms of a disorder or condition and/or alleviating, mitigating or impeding one or more causes of a disorder or condition. Treatments according to the invention may be applied preventively,

prophylactically, pallatively or remedially. [0037] The symbol > when used in connection with a substituent signifies that the substituent is a divalent substituent attached to two different atoms through a single atom on the substituent.

[0038] The term "wavy line" signifies the point of attachment of the substituent to the remainder of the molecule. When the wavy line is not depicted as being specifically appended to a specific ring atom, the point of attachment can be to any suitable atom of the substituent. For example, the wavy line in the following structure:

is intended to include, as the point of attachment, any of the six substitutable carbon atoms.

[0039] Compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed "isomers". Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed

"stereoisomers". "Stereoisomer" and "stereoisomers" refer to compounds that exist in different stereoisomeric forms if they possess one or more asymmetric centers or a double bond with asymmetric substitution and, therefore, can be produced as individual

stereoisomers or as mixtures. Stereoisomers include enantiomers and diastereomers.

Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed "diastereomers" and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed "enantiomers". When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, it is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (-)-isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a "racemic mixture". Unless otherwise indicated, the description is intended to include individual stereoisomers as well as mixtures. The methods for the determination of stereochemistry and the separation of stereoisomers are well-known in the art (see discussion in Chapter 4 of ADVANCED ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, 4th edition J. March, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1992) differ in the chirality of one or more stereocenters.

[0040] The compounds of the present invention may also contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute such compounds. For example, the compounds may be radiolabeled with isotopes, such as for example deuterium ( 2 H), tritium ( 3 H), iodine- 125 ( 125 I) or carbon- 14 ( 14 C). All isotopic variations of the compounds of the present invention, whether radioactive or not, are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention. [0041] Unless indicated otherwise, the nomenclature of substituents that are not explicitly defined herein are arrived at by naming the terminal portion of the functionality followed by the adjacent functionality toward the point of attachment. For example, the substituent "alkoxyalkyl" refers to an akyl group that is substituted with alkoxy and "hydoxyalkyl" refers to an akyl group that is substituted with hydroxy. For both of these substituents, the point of attachment is at the alkyl group. [0042] It is understood that the definitions and formulas provided herein are not intended to include impermissible substitution patterns (e.g., methyl substituted with 5 fluoro groups). Such impermissible substitution patterns are well known to the skilled artisan.

In some groups of embodiments, the invention provides the trans isomer of any cyclohexyl-substituted aldehyde listed in Table 1.

[0094] In one group of embodiments, provided is a compound in any of the Examples or Tables. In another group of embodiments, provided are any combinations of

subembodiments as disclosed herein including any combination of elements disclosed herein including the a selection of any single elements. [0095] In one group of embodiments, the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition containing a compound of any of the preceding claims or a tautomer or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

[0096] The compounds of the present invention may be prepared by known organic synthesis techniques, including the methods described in more detail in the Examples.

[0097] In one group of embodiments, provided is an intermediate compound used in the preparation of the compounds disclosed herein.

[0098] In one group of embodiments, provided are methods for preparing the compounds disclosed herein.

[0099] For example, Scheme I shows a synthetic route for the synthesis of the compounds of Formula (I) where X is O and Y is CH 2 . Phenol 1.1 is contacted with intermediate 1.2 in the presence of base under ether forming conditions to give ether 1.3, where Lg represents a leaving group such as a halogen leaving group or an oxophosphonium leaving group or sulfonate leaving group. Conversely, when X is O and Y is CH 2 , the compounds of Formula (I) can be prepared using the appropriate starting materials where the OH moiety of intermediate 1.1 is replaced with a leaving group and the Lg group of intermediate 1.2 is replaced with an OH group.

Scheme I

1 .1 1.2 1.3

[0100] Scheme II shows an example of a synthetic route for the synthesis of the compounds of Formula (I) where X and Y are CH 2 . Alkene 2.1 is contacted with alkene 2.2 under metathesis forming conditions in the presence of an appropriate transition metal catalyst. Suitable catalysts include ruthenium catalysts such as Grubbs' catalyst. Product 2.3 is then hydrogenated to give compound 2.4. Scheme II

2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4

[0101] Scheme III shows an example of a synthetic route for the synthesis of the compounds of Formula (I) where R 6 together with R lb form a cyclic ether. Compound 3.1, is reacted with diethylphosphite and a base such as sodium methoxide to give intermediate 3.2, that is then condensed with aldehyde 3.3 to give alkene 3.4. Treatment of the alkene with ¾ under hydrogenation conditions gives lactone 3.4, which is then reduced with a suitable reducing agent such as LiBHEt 3 to give cyclic hemiacetal 3.5.

Scheme III

[0102] In some embodiments, cyclohexane- and cyclohexene-substituted aldehydes can be synthesized according to Schemes IV and V. Scheme IV shows a general scheme for the synthesis of a cyclohexane-substituted benzaldehyde 4.4 from hydroxy-aldehyde 4.3 via a Mitsunobu reaction with cyclohexylmethanol 4.1, or via alkylation of cyclohexylmethane 4.2. The cyclohexylmethane 4.2 is substituted with a leaving group X, such as a halogen or a sulfonic ester.

Scheme IV

4.2

[0103] Scheme V shows the synthesis of cyclohexylmethanol 5.7a, cyclohexenylmethanol 5.5a, cyclohexylmethane 5.7b, and cyclohexenylmethane 5.5b. Ketoester 5.1 can be converted to aryl triflate 5.2, which can be elaborated via Suzuki coupling to provide cyclohexenylester 5.4. Cyclohexenylester 5.4 can then be used to access the

cyclohexenylmethanol 5.5a and cyclohexenylmethane 5.5b. Cyclohexenylester 5.4 can also be hydrogenated in order to access cyclohexylmethanol 5.7a and cyclohexylmethane 5.7b. One skilled in the art will appreciate that this approach can be used to synthesize cis and trans isomers of cycloalkane-substituted methane and methanol comopounds. The substituted methanol and methane compounds can be used for synthesis of substituted benzaldehydes 5.9 as described above. Scheme VI shows that cylopentane- and

cyclopentene-substituted aldehydes 6.10 can be synthesized using an analogous approach.

In addition to an effective amount of the active compound(s), the compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients, including adjuvants which facilitate processing of the active compounds into preparations which can be used pharmaceutically.

"Pharmaceutically acceptable excipient" refers to an excipient or mixture of excipients which does not interfere with the effectiveness of the biological activity of the active compound(s) and which is not toxic or otherwise undesirable to the subject to which it is administered.

[0108] For solid compositions, conventional excipients include, for example,

pharmaceutical grades of mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharin, talc, cellulose, glucose, sucrose, magnesium carbonate, and the like. Liquid

pharmacologically administrable compositions can, for example, be prepared by dissolving, dispersing, etc., an active compound as described herein and optional pharmaceutical adjuvants in water or an aqueous excipient, such as, for example, water, saline, aqueous dextrose, and the like, to form a solution or suspension. If desired, the pharmaceutical composition to be administered may also contain minor amounts of nontoxic auxiliary excipients such as wetting or emulsifying agents, pH buffering agents and the like, for example, sodium acetate, sorbitan monolaurate, triethanolamine sodium acetate, triethanolamine oleate, etc.

[0109] For oral administration, the composition will generally take the form of a tablet or capsule, or it may be an aqueous or nonaqueous solution, suspension or syrup. Tablets and capsules are preferred oral administration forms. Tablets and capsules for oral use will generally include one or more commonly used excipients such as lactose and corn starch. Lubricating agents, such as magnesium stearate, are also typically added. When liquid suspensions are used, the active agent may be combined with emulsifying and suspending excipients. If desired, flavoring, coloring and/or sweetening agents may be added as well. Other optional excipients for incorporation into an oral formulation include preservatives, suspending agents, thickening agents, and the like.

[0110] Injectable formulations can be prepared in conventional forms, either as liquid solutions or suspensions, solid forms suitable for solubilization or suspension in liquid prior to injection, or as emulsions or liposomal formulations. The sterile injectable formulation may also be a sterile injectable solution or a suspension in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils, fatty esters or polyols are conventionally employed as solvents or suspending media.

[0111] The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may also be formulated in lyophilized form for parenteral administration. Lyophilized formulations may be

reconstituted by addition of water or other aqueous medium and then further diluted with a suitable diluent prior to use. The liquid formulation is generally a buffered, isotonic, aqueous solution. Examples of suitable diluents are isotonic saline solution, 5% dextrose in water, and buffered sodium or ammonium acetate solution. Pharmaceutically acceptable solid or liquid excipients may be added to enhance or stabilize the composition, or to facilitate preparation of the composition.

[0112] Typically, a pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is packaged in a container with a label, or instructions, or both, indicating use of the pharmaceutical composition in the treatment of the indicated disease.

[0113] The pharmaceutical composition may additionally contain one or more other pharmacologically active agents in addition to a compound of this invention.

[0114] Dosage forms containing effective amounts of the modulators are within the bounds of routine experimentation and within the scope of the invention. A therapeutically effective dose may vary depending upon the route of administration and dosage form. The representative compound or compounds of the invention is a formulation that exhibits a high therapeutic index. The therapeutic index is the dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects which can be expressed as the ratio between LD 50 and ED5 0 . The LD5 0 is the dose lethal to 50% of the population and the ED5 0 is the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population. The LD5 0 and ED5 0 are determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in animal cell cultures or experimental animals. It should be understood that a specific dosage and treatment regimen for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors, including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient, and the time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, judgment of the treating physician and severity of the particular disease being treated. The amount of active ingredient(s) will also depend upon the particular compound and other therapeutic agent, if present, in the composition.

[0145] The title compounds are prepared according to scheme XI below.

[0146] Ethyl 2-oxocyclohexane-l-carboxylate 11.5 is converted to the triflate intermediate 11.6 by treating with a triflic anhydride in the presence of Hunig's base (Step 1). Suzuki coupling of triflate 11.6 with boronic ester 11.7 affords cyclohexene carboxylate 11.8 (Step 2). "Ar" in Scheme XI represents 2-propylpyrazol-3-yl. The cyclohexene carboxylate 11.8 is divided in two portions. Using the first portion, subsequent reduction of the ester group by DIBAL gives the corresponding alcohol 11.9-OH (Step 3). Further reaction of the alcohol 11.9-OH with mesyl chloride produces the corresponding 10-OMs mesylate (Step 5).

[0147] Using the second portion of cyclohexene carboxylate 11.8, the double bond is reduced first to give the cz ' s-cyclohexane 11.11-cis carboxylate under palladium catalyzed hydrogenation conditions (Step 4). Reduction of the ester group of 11.11-cis by LAH yields cis-alcohol 11.12-OH-cis (Step 7). Conversion of the alcohol 11.12-OH-cis the

corresponding chloride 11.13-Cl-cis is conducted via reaction with thionyl chloride (Step 8). The cz ' s-cyclohexane carboxylate 11.11-cis can also be isomerized to the thermodynamically more stable trans-isomer 11.11-trans by the treatment with an alcoholic ethoxide solution. Analogously, transformation of 11.11-trans ester to 11.12-trans alcohol and 11.13-Cl-trans is conducted by applying conditions of Step 7 and Step8 as for the corresponding cis-isomers. Scheme XI

IN VITRO TESTING

Example 17. Modulation of Hemoglobin Oxygen affinity by Substituted Benzaldehyde Compounds— Assay Procedure.

[0182] Oxygen equilibrium curves (OEC) in purified Hemoglobin S (HbS) were measured by the change in p50, the partial pressure of oxygen at which the heme binding sites in the HbS sample are 50% saturated with oxygen. HbS was purified by a modified procedure (Antonini and Brunori, 1971 ; Heomoglobin and Myoglobin in their Reactions with

Ligands; North Holland Publishing Company; Amsterdam, London) from blood obtained from homozygous sickle cell patients though the Hemoglobinopathy Center at Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI) with Institutional Review Board approval. Oxygen equilibrium curves were carried out with a HEMOX analyzer, (TCS Scientific, ew Hope, PA). Five hundred μί, of 250 μΜ purified HbS were diluted into 4.5 mL of HEMOX buffer (30 mM TES, 130 mM NaCl, 5 mM KC1, pH= 7.4) resulting in a final hemoglobin concentration of 25 μΜ. The compounds were added at the final desired concentrations. The mixture was incubated for 45 min at 37 °C and then transferred to the Hemox sample chamber. The samples were saturated with oxygen by flushing with compressed air for 10 minutes. The samples were then flushed with pure nitrogen and the absorbance of deoxy-Hb was recorded as a function of the solution p02. The oxygen equilibrium data was then fit to the Hill Model to obtain values for p50. The deoxygenation curves for both HbS alone (control) and HbS in the presence of compound were collected with the TCS software. The p50 for purified Hbs was typically 13.8 + 1.6. Delta p50 values were obtained from the p50 value for control minus the p50 value for HbS treated with compound divided by the p50 value for the control. A positive delta p50 value corresponds to a left shifted curve and a lower p50 value relative to control, indicating that the compound acts to modulate HbS to increase its affinity for oxygen. Example 18. Modulation of Hemoglobin Oxygen affinity by Substituted Benzaldehyde Compounds— Assay Results.

[0183] The compounds of Table 1 that were where tested in the assay above were all found to have positive delta p50 values. Delta p50% is calculated from [[p50(HbS) - p50(HbS treated with compound)]/p50(HbS)] X 100. Table 2 below lists the delta p50% values where + indicates a delta p50% of between 0 and 29 and ++ indicates a delta p50% of 30 or greater. Unless noted otherwise, the compounds in Table 2 were tested at 30μΜ. Table 2. delta p50

Example 19. Polymerization Assay.

[0184] Polymerization assays are carried out in vitro using purified HBS exchanged into 1.8 M potassium phosphate buffer at pH 7.4. Using a slightly modified protocol (Antonini and Brunori, 1971), HbS is purified by the CRO VIRUSYS, from blood obtained from homozygous sickle cell patients through the Hemoglobinopathy Center at Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI) with Institutional Review Board approval. Compounds are prepared in 100% DMSO and a desired amount is added to 50 μΜ of purified HBS at a final DMSO concentration of 0.3%. Final potassium phosphate concentration is adjusted to 1.8 M using a combination of 2.5 M potassium phosphate stock solution and water at pH 7.4. The reaction mixture is incubated for an hour at 37 °C and then transferred into a 24-well plate for deoxygenation in a glove box containing 99.5 % nitrogen and 0.5% oxygen. The 24-well plate is not covered and incubated at 4 °C on a plate cooler inside the glove box for one and a half hours. Fifty iL of the reaction mixture is transferred into a 96-well plate and the absorbance at 700 nm is measured every minute for one hour at 37 °C in a plate reader located inside the glove box. A plot of the absorbance against time is fitted using a Boltzman sigmoidal fit and the delay time (from zero to time at half Vmax) is measured. To compare and rank compounds, delay times are expressed as percent delay (%DT), which is defined as the difference in delay times for HBS/compound and HBS alone multiplied by 100 and divided by the delay time for HBS alone.

[0185] Compounds listed below have been tested in the polymerization assay. Activity ranges are defined by the number of dagger (†) symbols indicated.† denotes activity > 40% but < 80%;†† denotes activity > 80% but < 120%;††† denotes activity > 120% but < 140%;†††† denotes activity > 160%.

Example 20. R/T Assay

[0186] A relaxed-to-tense transition assay ("R/T assay") was used to determine the ability of substituted benzaldehyde compounds to mantain the high-oxygen affinity relaxed (R) state of hemoglobin under deoxygenated conditions. This ability can be expressed as a "delta R" value (i.e., the change in the time-period of the R state after hemoglobin is treated with a compound, as compared to the period without treatment with the comound). Delta R is the %R to remaining after the compounds treatment compared with no treatment (e.g. if R% without treatment is 8% while with treatment with a target compound is 48% R at 30 μΜ, then %R is 40% for that compound.

[0187] A mixture of HbS/A was purified from blood obtained from homozygous sickle cell patients though the Hemoglobinopathy Center at Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI) with Institutional Review Board approval. HbS/A (at a final concentration of 3 μΜ) was incubated for 1 hr at 37°C in presence or absence of compounds in 50 μΜ potassium phosphate buffer, pH=7.4 and 30 μΜ 2, 3 diphosphoglycerate (DPG) in 96 well plates in a final volume of 160 μΐ. Compounds were added at different concentrations (3 μΜ to 100 μΜ final concentrations). Plates were covered with a Mylar film. After incubation was completed the Mylar cover was removed and the plates were placed in a Spectrostar Nano plate reader previously heated at 37°C. Five minutes later, 2 (flow rate = 20 L/min) was flowed through the spectrophotometer. Spectroscopic measurements (300 nm to 700 nm) were taken every 5 min for 2 hours. Data analysis was performed by using linear regression from the data retrieved for all wavelengths.

[0188] Table 4 below lists the delta R values where + indicates a delta R of between 0 and 30, ++ indicates a delta R of between 30 and 50, and +++ indicates a delta R of 50 or greater. Unless noted otherwise, the compounds in Table 2 were tested at 9 μΜ.

Example 21. Whole Blood Assay

[0189] Oxygen Equilibrium Curves (OEC) of whole blood before and after treatment with different concentrations of substituted benzaldehyde compounds were performed as follows using a HEMOX analyzer (TCS Scientific, New Hope, PA). Blood samples from

homozygous sickle cell patients were obtained though the Hemoglobinopathy Center at Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI) with Institutional Review Board approval. The hematocrit was adjusted to 20% using autologous plasma and the blood samples were incubated for 1 hour at 37 °C in absence or presence of compounds. 100 μΐ of these samples were added to 5 mL of Hemox buffer (30 mM TES, 130 mM NaCl, 5 mM KC1, pH= 7.4) at 37 °C and then transferred to the Hemox sample chamber. The samples were saturated with oxygen by flushing with compressed air for 10 minutes. The samples were then flushed with pure nitrogen and the respective absorbances of oxy- and deoxy-Hb are recorded as a function of the solution p02. The oxygen equilibrium data were then fitted to the Hill Model to obtain values for p50. The deoxygenation curves for both whole blood alone (control) and whole blood in the presence of the compound were collected with the TCS software.

[0190] Table 5 below lists the delta p50% values where + indicates a delta p50% of between 0 and 29, ++ indicates a delta p50% of between 30 and 50, and +++ indicates a delta p50% of 50 or greater. The compounds in Table 2 were tested at 1000 μΜ. A positive delta p50 value corresponds to a left shifted curve and a lower p50 value relative to control, indicating that the compound acts to modulate HbS to increase its affinity for oxygen.
