deferiprone and Parkinsonian Disorders

deferiprone has been researched along with Parkinsonian Disorders in 2 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.

Parkinsonian Disorders: A group of disorders which feature impaired motor control characterized by bradykinesia, MUSCLE RIGIDITY; TREMOR; and postural instability. Parkinsonian diseases are generally divided into primary parkinsonism (see PARKINSON DISEASE), secondary parkinsonism (see PARKINSON DISEASE, SECONDARY) and inherited forms. These conditions are associated with dysfunction of dopaminergic or closely related motor integration neuronal pathways in the BASAL GANGLIA.

Trial Outcomes

Iron Concentrations in the Dentate Nucleus

Assess whether Deferiprone therapy directly affects the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, modify regional brain mineralization (iron concentration) as assessed with T2* MRI in PD patients in the dentate nucleus. In previous animal studies, Deferiprone treatment reduced dentate nucleus iron content, as assessed by MRI. An increase in the T2*MRI value represents an increase in mineralization. (NCT01539837)
Timeframe: 6 months
