5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furaldehyde (5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxaldehyde, 5‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐furfural) is found in garden onion. It is obtainable from various carbohydrates. 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxaldehyde is present in tomatoes, tobacco oil etc. It is a constituent of numerous plant species. 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxaldehyde is used as an index of heat treatment and deterioration in food such as tomato paste, honey and fruit juices. Also an indicator of adulteration with acid-converted invert sugars. The heterocyclic aldehyde 5‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐furfural (5HMF, Aes‐103, BAX 555) interacts allosterically with the abnormal form of haemoglobin (Hb), HbS, in red blood cells (RBCs) from patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), thereby increasing oxygen affinity and decreasing HbS polymerization and RBC sickling during hypoxia. 5HMF markedly reduced the deoxygenation-induced dehydration of RBCs whether in response to maintained deoxygenation or to cyclical deoxygenation/re-oxygenation. 5HMF was found to inhibit Psickle, an effect which correlated with its effects on sickling. Deoxygenation-induced activation of the Gardos channel and exposure of phosphatidylserine were also inhibited, probably indirectly via reduced entry of Ca(2+) through the Psickle pathway. Effects of 5HMF on KCC were more modest with a slight inhibition in N-ethylmaleimide (NEM, 1 mm)-treated RBCs and stimulation in RBCs untreated with NEM. These findings support the hypothesis that 5HMF may also be beneficial through effects on RBC ion and water homeostasis. AesRx is developing Aes-103 as an orally bioavailable, chronic therapy for SCD. Aes‐103 is currently in phase II clinical trials in SCD patients in the USA and UK. Aes-103 has received orphan designation from the US Food and Drug Administration and is eligible for orphan status in Europe.

Curator's Comment: Sickle Cell Disease: Subjects randomized 3:1 to receive 4 times daily dosing of 1,000 mg of Aes-103 or placebo for 28 days https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01987908
Double-blind, placebo-controlled, ascending single dose study evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Aes-103 given as an oral solution at 300 mg, 1000 mg, 2000 mg and 4000 mg to healthy normal subjects. In each dosing cohort, 6 subjects received 5-HMF and 2 received placebo. A total of 20 adult subjects of African descent with normal hemoglobin (Hb), received a single dose of study drug or placebo on up to 2 occasions separated by 2–4 weeks.
Route of Administration: Oral
The dose-dependence of 5HMF for increased oxygen affinity and reduction of sickling indicate an IC50 of about 1 mM. Significant levels of inhibition of Psickle, the Gardos channel and PS exposure were apparent at 5HMF concentrations of 1 mM, 0.1 mM and 2 mM, respectively. In these deoxygenated RBCs, stimulation of KCC was significant by 5 mM.
