In Vivo Mapping of Catecholaminergic Loss and Iron Deposition in Huntington's Disease
Abstract Background The pathophysiology of Huntington's disease (HD) remains obscure. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can reveal in vivo molecular changes related to disease pathology. Objectives To investigate catecholaminergic neuronal integrity and subcortical brain iron accumulation in HD employing neuromelanin‐sensitive MRI, and quantitative ...

Effect of deferiprone in transwell-cultured confluent ECC-1 cells: Epithelial monolayer integrity.
Cultures at maximal luminal barrier function (TER ≥ 1000 ohms / cm2) were left untreated, or were treated with deferiprone at the indicated concentrations, every day via the apical chamber and every other day via the basolateral chamber.

The COST-UTILITY ANALYSIS OF FOUR CHELATION REGIMENS FOR Β-THALASSEMIA MAJOR: A CHINESE PERSPECTIVE
Background: The four most commonly used chelation regimens for β-thalassemia major patients in China are a combination therapy of deferoxamine and deferiprone (DFO+DFP), deferoxamine(DFO) monotherapy, deferiprone(DFP) monotherapy and deferasirox(DFX ...

Risks associated with oral deferiprone in the treatment of infratentorial superficial siderosis [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Deferiprone is an iron chelator that has recently been used to treat patients with infratentorial superficial siderosis (iSS). It is considered to have a generally favourable safety profile but concerns have been raised due to the risk of ...

Challenges of Iron Chelation in Thalassemic Children
Thalassemia treatment still relies on supportive care, mainly including blood transfusion and iron chelation therapy. Iron chelation is considered the main factor responsible for the marked improvement in survival rates of thalassemic patients ...

Cellular toxicity of LTCC blockers and the comparison with deferiprone.
(A) Apoptotic effects of 10 or 100 µM AML, VER and deferiprone on HL-1 cells for 72 hr were assessed by annexin V/PI flow cytometry assay. (B) HL-1 cells were challenged with 300 µM Fe(III) or Fe(II), followed by treatments of 10 or 100 µM deferiprone 20
