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.
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.
