Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

In vitro
GBT440 is a new potent allosteric effector of sickle cell hemoglobin that increases the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and consequently inhibits its polymerization when subjected to hypoxic conditions. GBT440 inhibits these isozymes(CYP 1A2, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4) with IC50 ranging from 7.9 to 148 μM. It is not a substrate for either P-gp or BCRP transporters[1]. It binds to the N-terminal a chain of Hb[2].
In vivo
GBT440 has favorable oral bioavailability of 60, 37, and 36% in rats, dogs, and monkeys, respectively, with similar blood and plasma half-lives of approximately 20 h each. T1/2 value of GBT440 in all animal species is significantly shorter than the T1/2 of red blood cells (∼20 days), which supports that binding of GBT440 to hemoglobin is a reversible process. GBT440 is currently in Phase 3 clinical trials (NCT03036813) in SCD patients[1]. GBT440 increases haemoglobin oxygen affinity, reduces sickling and prolongs RBC half-life in a murine model of sickle cell disease. In a murine model of SCD, GBT440 extends the half-life of RBCs, reduces reticulocyte counts and prevents ex vivo RBC sickling. Importantly, oral dosing of GBT440 in animals demonstrates suitability for once daily dosing in humans and a highly selective partitioning into RBCs, which is a key therapeutic safety attribute. GBT440 shows dose proportional PK, a terminal half-life of 1.5-3 d[2].
