Abstract：
:The primary pathophysiological event in sickling is the intracellular polymerization of deoxygenated haemoglobin S. Tucaresol (589C80;4[2-formyl-3-hydroxyphenoxymethyl] benzoic acid), a substituted benzaldehyde, was designed to interact with haemoglobin to increase oxygen affinity and has been shown to inhibit sickling in vitro. We administered tucaresol to sickle cell patients in the steady state to examine the anti-sickling effect in vivo. Oral doses of tucaresol or placebo were given to nine stable sickle cell patients (aged 17-39 years; tucaresol, six; placebo, three) for 10 d. The first two patients on tucaresol were scheduled to receive a loading dose of 800 mg or 1200 mg (depending on bodyweight) for the first 4 d, followed by maintenance doses of 200 or 300 mg for the next 6 d. Due to concerns over the sharp rise in haematocrit in one patient, subsequent cohorts received 300 mg tucaresol daily throughout the dosing period. The oxygen affinity of haemoglobin S was increased in all patients receiving tucaresol, with between 10% and 24% of the haemoglobin modified, dependent on dose. In all patients on tucaresol, haemolysis was reduced with rises in haemoglobin of 0.9- 3.7 g/dl (mean 2.2 g/dl), falls in lactate dehydrogenase of 16-52%, and a halving of the irreversibly sickled cell counts. These effects were apparent within a few days and persisted for 1-2 weeks following discontinuation of the drug. Three of the six patients on tucaresol developed fever and cervical lymphadenopathy, with onset between days 7 and 11 from start of drug. Further evaluation of the tolerability and efficacy of tucaresol in sickle cell patients is necessary.
