The investigators suggested that sodium nitrite may itself traverse the placenta, inducing methemoglobinemia in the fetus that could stimulate erythropoiesis in the hepatic cells (Globus and Samuel 1978). Among the most promising prospects are CERA (Continuous Erythropoiesis Receptor Activator) for anemia, Bondronat for osteoporosis, the still-unnamed R450 for stress urinary incontinence (most common in women) and MRA for rheumatoid arthritis. Roche is in the process of developing CERA - Continuous Erythropoiesis Receptor Activator. |
