Successful in vivo chelation treatment of iron(iii) overload pathologies requires that a significant fraction of the administered drug actually chelates the toxic metal. Increased mobilization of the iron(iii) in experiments on animals or humans, most often evaluated from urinary output, is usually used as an assessment tool for chelation therapy. Alternatively, the efficiency of a drug is esti...

Segmented polyurethane(SPU)s are block polymers which have a good elastic property and thermoplasticity. However, the biocompatibility of SPU is not sufficient, and a living organism rejects the SPU as a foreign material. Thus, some modification is needed to provide excellent biocompatibility and retain the good physical characteristics of the SPUs. In this study, we blended the 2methacryloylox...
