Product Description

Voxelotor (formerly known as GBT-440; trade name: Oxbryta) is a potent and orally bioactive allosteric effector of sickle cell hemoglobin. It increases the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and consequently inhibits its polymerization when subjected to hypoxic conditions. Unlike earlier allosteric activators that bind covalently to hemoglobin in a 2:1 stoichiometry, Voxelotor binds with a 1:1 stoichiometry. Voxelotor is orally bioavailable and partitions highly and favorably into the red blood cell with a RBC/plasma ratio of ∼150. This partitioning onto the target protein is anticipated to allow therapeutic concentrations to be achieved in the red blood cell at low plasma concentrations. In November 2019, voxelotor received accelerated approval in the United States for the treatment of sickle cell disease (SCD) for those 12 years of age and older. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers it to be a first-in-class medication.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Red blood cell (RBC) sickling is prevented by voxelotor (GBT440), which binds to the N-terminal hemoglobin (Hb) chain and increases hemoglobin S's (HbS's) affinity for oxygen [1]. It also delays HbS polymerization in vitro.
ln Vivo
Voxelotor (GBT440; 100–150 mg/kg; given twice daily by oral gavage for 9–12 days) prolongs the half-life of red blood cells (RBCs) and decreases isolated sickle cell [1]. In mice (70 mg/kg; IV), rats (1.6 mg/kg; IV), dogs (1 mg/kg; IV), and momkeys (1 mg/kg; IV), voxelotor revealed T1/2 values of 11.7, 19.1±1.5, 66.0±11, and 28.8±4.0 hours, respectively [1]. For mice (30 mg/kg; po), rats (7.2 mg/kg; po), dogs (2.5 mg/kg; po), and momkeys (4.25 mg/kg; po), voxelotor has Cmaxs of 81.9, 71.2±6.0, 5.56±1.6, and 25.2±5.5 μg/mL[1].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
