Fluvastatin suppresses hemin-induced cell death, reactive oxygen species generation, and elevated labile iron pool [PDF]
Background: In transfusion-related iron overload, macrophage/reticuloendothelial cells are the first site of haem-derived iron accumulation. The prevention of haem-induced cytotoxicity in macrophages may represent a target for iron overload treatment ...

Pharmacogenomic and Clinical Predictors of Deferasirox Response in Transfusion-Dependent Thalassemia Identified Using Whole-Genome Sequencing. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Deferasirox is a widely used oral iron chelator in patients with transfusion‐dependent thalassemia, but considerable variability in treatment response remains a clinical challenge. This study applied whole‐genome sequencing to investigate genetic predictors of deferasirox response in 88 Thai patients.

Follow-Up of 3-Year Luspatercept Treatment in a Transfused ß-Thalassemia Patient. Bone Marrow: An Undervalued Iron Store. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction Treatment with luspatercept may improve transfusion requirements in transfusion‐dependent thalassemia (TDT), but the improved erythroid maturation in the bone marrow influences body iron distribution. Case Report We report on sequential organ iron measurements in a TDT patient under luspatercept treatment.

Development and Validation of a Method for Determining Deferasirox in Human Blood Plasma by HPLC-UV
Introduction. Deferasirox is one of the most well-known complexing drugs chelators and is successfully used in chelating therapy for the treatment of excess iron in the human body. Deferasirox is also included in the list of vital and essential medicines,
