Anemia in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) increases 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG), decreasing hemoglobin-oxygen (HbO) affinity to improve oxygen offloading and promote hemoglobin polymerization (sickling) of red blood cells (RBCs). We report the discovery of FT-4202, an investigational, selective pyruvate kinase type-R (PKR) activator with a multimodal mechanism of action and potential to increase ATP and decrease 2,3-DPG, resulting in increased HbO affinity, decreased Hb polymerization, and improved RBC health. FT-4202 was identified via structure-enabled lead optimization medicinal chemistry using X-ray crystallography, molecular modeling, and thermal shift assays.

α-Lipoic acid (LA) is an antioxidant of endogenous production, also obtained exogenously. Oxidative stress is closely associated with hypertension, which causes kidney injury and endothelial dysfunction. Here, we evaluated the cardiovascular and renal effects of LA in the two-kidney-one-clip (2K1C) hypertension model.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is the leading bacterial cause of gastroenteritis associated with seafood consumption worldwide. Not all members of the species are thought to be pathogenic, thus identification of virulent organisms is essential to protect public health and the seafood industry. Correlations of human disease and known genetic markers (e.
