Inhibition of prostate cancer proliferation by Deferiprone
Cancer growth and proliferation rely on intracellular iron availability. We studied the effects of Deferiprone (DFP), a chelator of intracellular iron, on three prostate cancer cell lines: murine, metastatic TRAMP‐C2; murine, non‐metastatic Myc‐CaP; and human, non‐metastatic 22rv1.

Oxidative Stress: Signaling Pathways, Biological Functions, and Disease
Oxidative stress causes cellular damage across multiple systems, contributing to neurodegeneration (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's), cancer progression and resistance, cardiovascular diseases (atherosclerosis, heart failure), liver and kidney injury, metabolic disorders (diabetes, obesity), autoimmune diseases, musculoskeletal decline, retinal ...

Treatment Selection and Prioritization for the EJS ACT‐PD MAMS Trial Platform
Abstract Background There are currently no disease‐modifying therapies (DMTs) registered for Parkinson's disease (PD). The Edmond J. Safra Accelerating Clinical Trials in Parkinson Disease (EJS ACT‐PD) initiative will expedite clinical assessment of putative DMTs through a multi‐arm multistage (MAMS) trial, testing several treatments against a common ...

Unravelling the genome-wide contributions of specific 2-alkyl-4-quinolones and PqsE to quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
The pqs quorum sensing (QS) system is crucial for Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence both in vitro and in animal models of infection and is considered an ideal target for the development of anti-virulence agents.

Ferroptosis, a controlled cell death, is driven by iron and characterized by reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation. The impact of lipid peroxides, GSH/GPX4, and iron metabolism–targeting small molecule inhibitors is discussed. Nucleic acids, proteins, and phytochemicals are implicated as inhibitors of ferroptosis.

Serial echocardiographic left ventricular ejection fraction measurements: a tool for detecting thalassemia major patients at risk of cardiac death [PDF]
Cardiac damage remains a major cause of mortality among patients with thalassemia major. The detection of a lower cardiac magnetic resonance T2* (CMR-T2*) signal has been suggested as a powerful predictor of the subsequent development of heart failure ...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is associated with increased iron levels in the substantia nigra (SNc). This study evaluated whether the iron chelator, deferiprone, is well tolerated, able to chelate iron from various brain regions and improve PD symptomology ...

Background: Combination therapy of Deferiprone (DFP) with Deferasirox (DFX) is an efficacious and safe modality to reduce serum ferritin in multi-transfused children with thalassemia. Objectives: To compare the efficacy of Deferiprone versus Deferiprone with Deferasirox as iron chelation therapy of transfusion dependent thalassemia children.

Deferiprone (L1) was originally designed, synthesised and screened in vitro and in vivo in 1981 by Kontoghiorghes G. J. following his discovery of the novel alpha-ketohydroxypyridine class of iron chelators (1978–1981), which were intended for clinical ...
