Nitrite and Nitrite-Methemoglobin
Therapy To Detoxify Stroma-Free
Hemoglobin Based Blood Substitutes
Description of Technology: Cell-free
hemoglobin based oxygen carriers
(HBOCs) are blood substitutes and
resuscitative agents that can be used to
replace whole blood donations, alleviate
blood shortages and reduce the risks of
infections such as HIV and hepatitis.
Stroma-free HBOCs offer the advantages
of increased stability, consistency of
supply, and reduced immunogenicity
over the use of the alternative cell based
sources. However, the side effects
associated with their use, including
vascular toxicity, pulmonary and
systemic hypertension, myocardial
infarction, inflammation, and platelet
aggregation severely limit their scope of
clinical applications. These adverse
effects are due in part to the ability of
free deoxygenated hemoglobin
(deoxyHb) to scavenge for nitric oxide
(NO) thus rendering it unavailable for
vasodilating blood vessels.
This technology is a method of using
nitrites to reduce the deleterious effects
associated with HBOC use as blood
substitutes. Free nitrites or nitritemethemoglobin when added to stromafree HBOCs are converted to NO and
N2O3 which escapes the scavenging
activity of deoxyHb and thus is free to
vasodilate blood vessels. This maintains
oxygen release and NO delivery
enabling improved clinical outcomes.
Recent studies, using this technology as
a blood substitute, have led to a reversal
of vasoconstriction, hypertension and
hemorrhagic shock in animal models.
This new approach also reduces the
toxicity associated with the use of
HBOCs as a blood substitute and may
allow the widespread use of HBOCs as
an alternative to cell based sources. In
combination with this technology,
HBOC blood substitutes may now be
used to efficiently deliver therapeutic
agents and maintain organ perfusion
during trauma and surgery.
Advantages: Reduced toxicity of cell
free hemoglobin blood substitutes;
Increased blood perfusion in patients;
Decreased dependence on blood
donations.
Development Status: Pre-clinical.

If you wish to submit comments on

State, you may do so by any of the
following methods:
1. You may mail or hand-deliver
(during normal business hours) written

Fish and Wildlife Office, 510 Desmond

2. You may fax your comments to
(360) 753–9405.
3. You may send comments by
electronic mail (e-mail) to
waseaottersar@fws.gov.
One of the
goals of the MMPA is to ensure that
stocks of marine mammals occurring in
waters under the jurisdiction of the
United States do not experience a level
of human-caused mortality and serious
injury that is likely to cause the stock to
be reduced below its optimum
sustainable population level (OSP). OSP
is defined as ‘‘* * * the number of
animals which will result in the
maximum productivity of the
population or the species, keeping in
mind the carrying capacity of the habitat
and the health of the ecosystem of
which they form a constituent element.’’
To help accomplish the goal of
maintaining marine mammal stocks at
their OSPs, section 117 of the MMPA
(16 U.S.C. 1361–1407) requires the
Service and the National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) to prepare
