Alternative aspirins as antisickling agents: acetyl-3,5-dibromosalicylic acid.

Abstract: Acetyl-3,5-dibromosalicylic acid (dibromoas irin) is shown to be a potent acylating agent of intracellular hemoglobin in vitro. Transfer of the actyl group of dibromoaspirin to amino groups of hemoglobins A and S seems to occur predominantly at just two or three sites on these proteins. This acetylation produces moderate increases in the oxygen affinities of normal and sickle erythrocytes. Furthermore, treatment of intracellular hemoglobin S with dibromoaspirin directly inhibits erythrocyte sickling. This anti… Show more

“…The acetyl-3,5-dibromosalicylic acid (dibromo aspirin), a derivative of aspirin, has been reported to exhibit the erythrocyte sickling [15]. Acetylation of hemoglobin by aspirin and other acetylating agents has been used to generate haemoglobin analogs with altered structural and functional properties, and may prove useful in the treatment of sickle cell disease [16].…”

“…Moreover, some halo-aspirin derivatives may have unique pharmacological actions of their own (see Refs. [25,26]) so that making non-ulcerogenic pre-drugs of these may be considered an added therapeutic benefit.…”
