Abstract:
:5-Bromotryptophan (5-BrTrp) is the most potent amino acid derivative reported in the literature to inhibit the gelation of hemoglobin S (from sickle cell anemia patients). Trp-Trp is also more potent than Trp as an antigelation agent. Therefore, we have prepared a series of dipeptides containing 5-BrTrp and evaluated the antigelation activity. 5-BrTrp-5-BrTrp is the most potent, i.e., 5.9 times the activity of Trp, followed by 5-BrTrp-Trp and then Trp-5-BrTrp. This improved antigelation potency for 5-BrTrp-5-BrTrp and 5-BrTrp-Trp is very significant and will be pursued further as lead compounds with potential for sickle cell anemia.
