Compounds and methods for preventing and/or treating one or more symptoms of sickle cell diseases (SCD) by administering at least one of the compounds are provided. The compounds are based on vanillin which is chemically modified to increase bioavailability and activity, e.g. so that the compounds bind to the F helix of hemoglobin (Hb) and prevent adhesion of red blood cells (RBCs).
