Efficacy and Side Effects of Deferasirox and Deferiprone for Thalasemia Major in Children [PDF]
Thalassemia major (TM) is an inherited disease caused by defective or absent of hemoglobin chain synthesis. Regular chelation therapy is necessary to reduce excess iron in several organs of TM patients.

Evaluation of Hepatic Enzymes in major β-thalassemic Patients using Deferasirox
β-thalassemia major is a genetic disease that causes sever defect in normal hemoglobin synthesis. The patients with β-thalassemia major need periodic blood transfusions that can result in accumulation of body iron, so treatment with iron chelating agent ...

Efficacy and safety of deferasirox at low and high iron burdens: results from the EPIC magnetic resonance imaging substudy [PDF]
The effect of deferasirox dosing tailored for iron burden and iron loading based on liver iron concentration (LIC) was assessed over 1 year in less versus more heavily iron-overloaded patients in a substudy of the Evaluation of Patients' Iron Chelation ...

Complex interaction of deferasirox and Pythium insidiosum: iron-dependent attenuation of growth in vitro and immunotherapy-like enhancement of immune responses in vivo. [PDF]
Pythium insidiosum iron acquisition mechanisms are unknown. We previously showed that the iron chelator deferasirox had weak activity in vitro and in rabbits with experimental pythiosis. Here we show that deferasirox causes damage to P. insidiosum hyphae
