A speciation study on the perturbing effects of iron chelators on the homeostasis of essential metal ions [PDF]
A number of reports have appeared in literature calling attention to the depletion of essential metal ions during chelation therapy on beta-thalassaemia patients. We present a speciation study to determine how the iron chelators used in therapy interfere

Chelator-facilitated removal of iron from transferrin: Relevance to combined chelation therapy [PDF]
Current iron chelation therapy consists primarily of DFO (desferrioxamine), which has to be administered via intravenous infusion, together with deferiprone and deferasirox, which are orally-active chelators.

Incorporation by coordination and release of the iron chelator drug deferiprone from zinc-based metal–organic frameworks [PDF]
A series of new zinc-based metal–organic framework materials has been prepared in which deferiprone is incorporated as a chelating ligand on infinite or tri-zinc secondary building units following deprotonation.

Deferiprone attenuates neuropathology and improves outcome following traumatic brain injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in young adults. The role of iron in potentiating neurodegeneration following TBI has gained recent interest as iron deposition has been detected in the injured brain in the ...

Novel Antidepressant-Like Properties of the Iron Chelator Deferiprone in a Mouse Model of Depression
Depressed individuals who carry the short allele for the serotonin-transporter-linked promotor region of the gene are more vulnerable to stress and have reduced response to first-line antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Since

Population pharmacokinetics of deferiprone in healthy subjects [PDF]
AimsTo characterize the pharmacokinetics of deferiprone in healthy subjects using a model‐based approach and to assess the effect of demographic and physiological factors on drug exposure.MethodsData from 55 adult healthy subjects receiving deferiprone (solution 100 mg ml−1) were used for model building purposes.

Coordination chemistry and biology of chelators for the treatment of iron overload disorders [PDF]
Treatment of the medical condition generally referred to as iron overload through the delivery of chelators has recently received a major boost. In 2005 Novartis gained FDA approval for the drug deferasirox, which may be taken orally.

Lead (Pb) exposure induces severe nephrotoxic effects in humans and animals. Herein, we compare the effects of two chelating agents, salinomycin and deferiprone, on Pb-induced renal alterations in mice and in the homeostasis of essential elements.
