Increased levels of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) lessen the severity of symptoms and increase the life span of patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). More effective strategies to increase HbF are needed because the current standard of care, hydroxyurea, is not effective in a significant proportion of patients. Treatment of the millions of patients projected worldwide would best be accomplished with an orally administered drug therapy that increased HbF. LSD1 is a component of corepressor complexes that repress gamma-globin gene expression and are a therapeutic target for HbF reactivation. We have shown that subcutaneous administration of RN-1, a pharmacological LSD1 inhibitor, increased gamma-globin expression in SCD mice and baboons, which are widely acknowledged as the best animal model in which to test the activity of HbF-inducing drugs. The objective of this investigation was to test the effect of oral administration of a new LSD1 inhibitor, ORY-3001. Oral administration of ORY-3001 to SCD mice (n = 3 groups) increased gamma-globin expression, Fetal Hemoglobin (HbF)-containing (F) cells, and F reticulocytes (retics). In normal baboons (n = 7 experiments) treated with ORY-3001, increased F retics, gamma-globin chain synthesis, and gamma-globin mRNA were observed. Experiments in anemic baboons (n = 2) showed that ORY-3001 increased F retics (PA8695, predose = 24%, postdose = 66.8%; PA8698: predose = 13%, post dose = 93.6%), gamma-globin chain synthesis (PA8695: predose = 0.07 gamma/gamma+beta, postdose = 0.20 gamma/gamma+beta; PA8698: predose = 0.02 gamma/gamma+beta, postdose = 0.44 gamma/gamma+13), and gamma-globin mRNA (PA8695: predose = 0.06 gamma/gamma+beta, postdose = 0.18 yly+beta; PA8698: predose = 0.03 gamma/gamma+beta, postdose = 0.33 gamma/gamma+fi). We conclude that oral administration of ORY-3001 increases F retics, y-globin chain synthesis, and y-globin mRNA in baboons and SCD mice, supporting further efforts toward the development of this drug for SCD therapy.
