Excretion and Distribution of Iron During Chronic Deferoxamine Therapy

Colorimetric quantification of urinary iron during deferoxamine therapy.

The Comparison of Efficacy of Original Brand Deferoxamine with Generic Iranian Made Deferoxamine in Urinary Iron Excretion in Patients with Thalassemia Major

Background: Deferoxamine mesylate is still the conventional and well-known iron chelator for patients with thalassemia major. However, due to some marketing issues the well-known original brand, Desferal®, produced by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Company is not as available as before. The generic brands of Deferoxamine have been introduced in many parts of the world including Iran; however, they ar...

HBED: A potential alternative to deferoxamine for iron-chelating therapy.

To examine the potential clinical usefulness of the hexadentate phenolic aminocarboxylate iron chelator N, N-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine-N,N-diacetic acid (HBED) for the chronic treatment of transfusional iron overload, we compared the iron excretion induced by subcutaneous (SC) injection of HBED and deferoxamine (DFO), the reference chelator, in rodents and primates. In the non-iron-ov...

Urinary iron excretion induced by intravenous infusion of deferoxamine in beta-thalassemia homozygous patients.

The purpose of the present study was to identify noninvasive methods to evaluate the severity of iron overload in transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia and the efficiency of intensive intravenous therapy as an additional tool for the treatment of iron-overloaded patients. Iron overload was evaluated for 26 beta-thalassemia homozygous patients, and 14 of them were submitted to intensive chelati...
