The hypoxic microenvironment is crucial for tumour cell growth and invasiveness. Tumour tissue results from adaptation to reduced oxygen availability. Hypoxia first activates pro-angiogenic signals for alleviation.

Background: It is essential to maintain the quality of the stored blood, because various factors affect the stored red blood cells (RBCs) over time, some red blood cell storage lesions (RCSL) develop during storage, and it could reduce the function of the RBCs. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of glutathione monoethyl ester on different biochemical changes, oxidant, and antioxidant levels in the leukoreduced RBCs (LR-RBCs) during storage.
Materials And Methods: About 10 units of LR-RBC were collected, processed and stored according to the standard operating procedures (SOPs) of the Iranian Blood Transfusion Organization.

The synthesis and characterization of a new ligand, 1-(bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl) amino)-2-methylpropane-2-thiolate (BPAS) and its nonheme iron complex, Fe(BPAS)Br (1), is reported. Reaction of 1 with O at -20 °C generates a high-spin iron(III)-hydroxide complex, [Fe(OH)(BPAS)(Br)] (2), that was characterized by UV-vis, Fe Mössbauer, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies, and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to support the spectroscopic assignments.

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.
