    Preclinical, Journal:  Sevuparin strongly reduces hepcidin expression in cells, mice, and healthy human volunteers. (Pubmed Central) -  Dec 2, 2024   
    Moreover, sevuparin was able to reduce hepcidin upregulation in a mouse model of acute inflammation induced by LPS, also showing an amelioration of the inflammatory markers. Combined with its excellent safety profile, these data suggest a role for sevuparin in treating high-hepcidin disorders.

    The Heparinoid Sevuparin Improves Anemia and Kidney Status in a Mouse Model of Chronic Kidney Disease (SDCC - Halls G-H) -  Nov 3, 2023 - Abstract #ASH2023ASH_3390;    
    Our data in this mouse CKD model add new insights to the role of hepcidin in the development of CKD anemia over time. Furthermore, the results are promising and support further mechanistic and clinical studies to elucidate the therapeutic role for sevuparin as a treatment in anemia of inflammatory and/or chronic diseases in monotherapy or in combination with EPO and to explore its role in kidney protection.
  • ||||||||||  Biologic Assessment of RBC Biology and Neutrophil Activation: Correlation with Sickle Cell Disease Activity (SDCC - Halls G-H) -  Nov 3, 2023 - Abstract #ASH2023ASH_1521;    
    On the other hand, higher HbF levels were associated with lower admission rates for VOE and a trend toward lower levels of neutrophil activation. This suggests that higher HbF, beyond its ability to reduce sickling, also alters other biological characteristics of SS RBCs and is accompanied by reduction in the inflammatory nature of SCD, thereby contributing to a decrease in VOE frequency.

    Although these adjuvants have no antiplasmodial activity, they can help to alleviate the effects which result from plasmodium invasion such as cytoadherence. The list of new antimalarial drugs under development is long, including the out of ordinary new drugs MMV048, CDRI-97/78 and INE963 from South Africa, India and Novartis, respectively.

    Journal:  Heparinoid sevuparin inhibits Streptococcus-induced vascular leak through neutralizing neutrophil-derived proteins. (Pubmed Central) -  May 28, 2020   
    By mass spectrometry of neutrophil secretion, we identify proteins, including serprocidins, S100 proteins, and histone H4, that interact with sevuparin and that are responsible for the disruptive effect on endothelial integrity. Collectively, our results demonstrate the critical role of neutrophil-derived proteins in vascular hyperpermeability caused by GAS and suggest sevuparin as a potential therapeutic in acute neutrophilic inflammation.-Rasmuson, J., Kenne, E., Wahlgren, M., Soehnlein, O., Lindbom, L. Heparinoid sevuparin inhibits Streptococcus-induced vascular leak through neutralizing neutrophil-derived proteins.

    Tafenoquine is under review by stringent regulatory authorities for approval as a single-dose treatment for Plasmodium vivax relapse prevention...This fact, coupled with the repeated loss of antimalarials to resistance, indicates that new antimalarials will be needed for years to come. Failure of the artemisinin-based combinations in Southeast Asia has stimulated a reappraisal of current approaches to combination therapy for malaria with incorporation of three or more drugs in a single treatment under consideration.
