Brief Summary  

WHO recognized Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) as a global health pandemic, with approximately 2/3 of 300,000 children born with SCD annually in Africa and India, projected to climb to 400,000 by 2050. Current management and treatment options are inadequate and suboptimal. For such crisis, a new anti-sickling therapy is needed and previous attempts majorly focussed on synthetic molecules. Lack of systematic study and clinical trial with a cocktail of phytoconstituents based on traditional knowledge represents a major gap area.  One such candidate formulation we developed, Sailin-HbS, demonstrated significant anti-sickling efficacy by impeding haemoglobin polymerization in-vitro as globin-oxygen affinity modifier and bears no toxicity in animal models. Preliminary clinical trial in African population was successful. 

Objectives: The study aims to evaluate clinical efficacy of Sailin-HbS as an anti-sickling formulation in Indian population. Additionally, metabolomics studies using liquid chromatography and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry will reveal disease pathophysiology.
