deferoxamine and Agranulocytosis

deferoxamine has been researched along with Agranulocytosis in 9 studies

Deferoxamine: Natural product isolated from Streptomyces pilosus. It forms iron complexes and is used as a chelating agent, particularly in the mesylate form.
desferrioxamine B : An acyclic desferrioxamine that is butanedioic acid in which one of the carboxy groups undergoes formal condensation with the primary amino group of N-(5-aminopentyl)-N-hydroxyacetamide and the second carboxy group undergoes formal condensation with the hydroxyamino group of N(1)-(5-aminopentyl)-N(1)-hydroxy-N(4)-[5-(hydroxyamino)pentyl]butanediamide. It is a siderophore native to Streptomyces pilosus biosynthesised by the DesABCD enzyme cluster as a high affinity Fe(III) chelator.

Agranulocytosis: A decrease in the number of GRANULOCYTES; (BASOPHILS; EOSINOPHILS; and NEUTROPHILS).

"We used combined therapy with desferrioxamine and deferiprone to treat 79 patients with severe iron overload (serum ferritin higher than 3000 ng/mL) who had low compliance with subcutaneous desferrioxamine."3.73Combined therapy with deferiprone and desferrioxamine in thalassemia major. ( Agus, A; Bina, P; Crobu, G; Defraia, E; Dessì, C; Galanello, R; Leoni, G; Muroni, PP; Origa, R, 2005)
"Agranulocytosis was observed in a 63-year-old patient with myelodysplasia 6 weeks after commencing chelation with the oral iron chelator deferiprone (1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxypyrid-4-one, L1) at a daily dose of 79 mg/kg."3.69The effect of deferiprone (L1) and desferrioxamine on myelopoiesis using a liquid culture system. ( al-Rafaie, FN; Hoffbrand, AV; Wilkes, S; Wonke, B, 1994)
"Neutropenia and agranulocytosis were also detected, suggesting needing of strict hematological control."2.80Deferiprone versus deferoxamine in thalassemia intermedia: Results from a 5-year long-term Italian multicenter randomized clinical trial.
