Iron-Chelating Drugs Enhance Cone Photoreceptor Survival in a Mouse Model of Retinitis Pigmentosa.
Purpose Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of hereditary retinal degeneration in which mutations commonly result in the initial phase of rod cell death followed by gradual cone cell death. The mechanisms by which the mutations lead to photoreceptor cell death in RP have not been clearly elucidated. There is currently no effective treatment for RP. The purpose of this work was to explore iron ...
متن کاملIron chelating agents for treating malaria.
BACKGROUND Researchers are exploring the effects of adding treatments to the main antimalarial regimens in an attempt to reduce mortality from Plasmodium falciparum. Iron chelation is one potential chemotherapeutic adjuvant treatment. Before advocating adjunctive therapy, the effects of iron chelators in improving patient outcomes need to be examined. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of iron-...
متن کاملSynthetic chelating agents in iron metabolism.
Iron in man is held within the cells incorporated in organic complex molecules, either as functional iron, i.e., hemoglobin and tissue enzymes, or as storage iron, i.e., ferritin and hemosiderin. Owing to the requirements of the erythroid marrow in particular, large amounts of iron must constantly pass from one cell to another through the plasma. This plasma transport is brought about by a #3gl...
متن کاملUsing Iron-Chelating Agents in Critically Ill Patients with Iron Overload. Fact or Fiction?
Recently, some evidence has shown that the failure of iron homeostasis may occur in critically ill patients and can lead to iron overload. Elevated ferritin levels as a body iron burden index in critically ill patients may be associated with depressed level of consciousness and greater mortality. However, the necessity of using iron-chelating agents in clinical situation is still unknown for th...
متن کاملQuantitative Analysis of the Anti-Proliferative Activity of Combinations of Selected Iron-Chelating Agents and Clinically Used Anti-Neoplastic Drugs
Recent studies have demonstrated that several chelators possess marked potential as potent anti-neoplastic drugs and as agents that can ameliorate some of the adverse effects associated with standard chemotherapy. Anti-cancer treatment employs combinations of several drugs that have different mechanisms of action. However, data regarding the potential interactions between iron chelators and est...
