deferoxamine and Cerebral Malaria

deferoxamine has been researched along with Cerebral Malaria in 14 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.

"To determine if iron chelation therapy alters immune responses in children with cerebral malaria, we retrospectively measured mean serum levels of neopterin, interleukin-4 (IL-4), and IL-6 in children who received desferrioxamine B or placebo for three days in addition to quinine-based therapy."9.08Serum neopterin, interleukin-4, and interleukin-6 concentrations in cerebral malaria patients and the effect of iron chelation therapy.

"To determine whether iron chelation modulates nitric oxide (NO) formation and cell-mediated immune effector function in children with cerebral malaria, serum concentrations were measured of the stable end products of NO, nitrite and nitrate (NO2-/NO3-), interleukin (IL)-4, -6, and -10, and neopterin in 39 Zambian children enrolled in a placebo-controlled trial of desferrioxamine B and quinine therapy."5.08Modulatory potential of iron chelation therapy on nitric oxide formation in cerebral malaria. ( Gordeuk, VR; Herold, M; Mabeza, G; Thuma, PE; Weiss, G; Werner, ER, 1997)
"To determine whether combining iron chelation with quinine therapy speeds the recovery of consciousness, we conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of the iron chelator deferoxamine in 83 Zambian children with cerebral malaria."5.07Effect of iron chelation therapy on recovery from deep coma in children with cerebral malaria. ( Backenstose, A; Biemba, G; Brittenham, G; Gordeuk, V; Holmes, L; McKinley, E; McLaren, C; Msiska, R; Parry, D; Thuma, P, 1992)
