Substituted benzaldehydes [2''-formyl-4-biphenylacetic acid, 5-(2-formylphenoxy) pentanoic acid and 5-(2-formyl-3-hydroxyphenoxy) pentanoic acid] were designed to bind preferentially to the oxy conformation of human Hb at a site between the amino terminal residues of the .alpha.-subunits. Such compounds should stabilize the oxygenated form of Hb and thereby increase its O2 affinity. The compounds produced the expected effect, left-shifting the O2-saturation curve of dilute Hb solutions and of whole blood, although the binding pattern to Hb is more complex than envisaged by the design hypothesis. The predicted best compound is also a potent inhibitor, at low O2 pressure, of the sickling of erythrocytes from patients homozygous for sickle cell disease, and may prove to be a clinically useful anti-sickling agent.
