deferiprone and Chronic Illness

deferiprone has been researched along with Chronic Illness in 4 studies

Deferiprone: A pyridone derivative and iron chelator that is used in the treatment of IRON OVERLOAD in patients with THALASSEMIA.
deferiprone : A member of the class of 4-pyridones that is pyridin-4(1H)-one substituted at positions 1 and 2 by methyl groups and at position 3 by a hydroxy group. A lipid-soluble iron-chelator used for treatment of thalassaemia.

"Iron mobilization from transferrin is one of the most important screening methods for the selection of chelators intended for clinical use in the treatment of iron overload in thalassemia and other conditions."8.83Iron mobilization from transferrin and non-transferrin-bound-iron by deferiprone. Implications in the treatment of thalassemia, anemia of chronic disease, cancer and other conditions. ( Kontoghiorghes, GJ, 2006)

" The introduction of effective chelation therapy protocols using primarily deferiprone (L1) in combination with deferoxamine (DFO) resulted in the reduction of iron overload induced cardiac failures, which is the main cause of death in thalassemia major."3.75Advances in the prevention and treatment are changing thalassemia from a fatal to a chronic disease. experience from a Cyprus model and its use as a paradigm for future applications.
