deferiprone and Myelodysplastic Syndromes

deferiprone has been researched along with Myelodysplastic Syndromes in 22 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.

Myelodysplastic Syndromes: Clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders characterized by dysplasia in one or more hematopoietic cell lineages. They predominantly affect patients over 60, are considered preleukemic conditions, and have high probability of transformation into ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"One hundred thirteen patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with <10% of bone marrow blasts received either deferiprone in a daily dose of 40-90 mg/kg (48 patients) or deferasirox in a daily dose of 10-40 mg/kg (65 patients)."7.79A comparative study of deferasirox and deferiprone in the treatment of iron overload in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes. ( Belohlavkova, P; Cermak, J; Cervinek, L; Jonasova, A; Neuwirtova, R; Vondrakova, J, 2013)
"Five, repeatedly transfused, patients with refractory anemia (RA) or RA with ringed sideroblast (RARS) subtypes of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), with serum ferritin (SF) levels of > 2,000 microg/L, and one female with Hb E [beta26(B8)Glu --> Lys]/beta0-thalassemia (thal) with an SF level of 1,760 microg/ L, were treated with deferiprone (L1) at the dose of 4-6 g per day for at least 26 months."5.12Erythropoietin administration may potentiate mobilization of storage iron in patients on oral iron chelation therapy.
