title: Diaspirins of methylenecitric acid.
abstract: A series of bissalicylic esters of methylenecitric acid have been prepared and, as a probe of their potential as antisickling agents, tested for their ability to modify hemoglobin. Substantial acylation of hemoglobin was obtained with these dicarboxylate esters at 1-5 mM concentrations.
