Question

**Q9: Voxelotor's structure is shown below. What would you expect the overall charge of the molecule to be in the blood (pH = 7.4)?**

- Pyridinium pKa = 2.6
- Phenol pKa = 8.3

The image displays the chemical structure of Voxelotor:

- The central structure features a bicyclic aromatic ring containing nitrogen atoms, indicating a pyridinium moiety.
- Connected to the pyridinium ring is a phenol group, characterized by a hydroxyl (-OH) group bonded to an aromatic ring.

**Explanation:**

In the context of blood at physiological pH (7.4), the following considerations apply:

- **Pyridinium Group:** With a pKa of 2.6, this group will likely be protonated at pH 7.4, as the pH is higher than the pKa. This would impart a positive charge to the molecule.

- **Phenol Group:** With a pKa of 8.3, this group will largely remain un-ionized at pH 7.4, as the pH is below the pKa. Thus, it is likely to remain neutral.

Overall, the molecule would likely have a positive charge under physiological conditions due to the protonation of the pyridinium group.
