deferiprone and Mucorales Infection

deferiprone has been researched along with Mucorales Infection in 3 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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" In addition, we compared the efficacy of deferiprone with that of liposomal amphotericin B (LAmB) in treating mucormycosis in diabetic ketoacidotic mice."7.73Deferiprone iron chelation as a novel therapy for experimental mucormycosis. ( Edwards, JE; Fu, Y; Ibrahim, AS; Spellberg, B, 2006)
"The increased risk of mucormycosis in patients with renal failure receiving deferoxamine iron chelation therapy is explained by the fact that deferoxamine actually acts as a siderophore for the agents of mucormycosis, supplying previously unavailable iron to the fungi."4.84Iron acquisition: a novel perspective on mucormycosis pathogenesis and treatment.

"Deferoxamine (DFO), when used in dialysis patients, is a well recognized risk factor for the development of mucormycosis caused by Rhizopus."3.69Deferoxamine augments growth and pathogenicity of Rhizopus, while hydroxypyridinone chelators have no effect.
