deferoxamine and Drug Overdose

deferoxamine has been researched along with Drug Overdose in 16 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.

Drug Overdose: Accidental or deliberate use of a medication or street drug in excess of normal dosage.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" He was treated with a unique deferoxamine dosage schedule (25 mg/kg/h for 12 h/d x 3 d), mechanical ventilation, Swan-Ganz catheter monitoring, dopamine/nitroprusside therapy, blood product, bicarbonate, electrolyte and volume replacement."5.29Survival after a severe iron poisoning treated with intermittent infusions of deferoxamine. ( Benson, B; Cheney, K; Gumbiner, C; Tenenbein, M, 1995)
"A controversial therapy in the management of acute iron poisoning is the oral administration of deferoxamine which purportedly complexes unabsorbed iron, exerts protection at the cellular level, and/or enhances the renal elimination of ingested iron."3.69Iron complexation with oral deferoxamine in a swine model. ( Dean, BS; Griffith, GR; Hines, RH; Krenzelok, EP; Oehme, FW, 1996)
"To determine whether leukocytosis, hyperglycemia, vomiting, and opacities in abdominal radiographs are indicators of a serum iron concentration of > 300 micrograms/dL in adult iron overdose patients, a retrospective medical record review was undertaken at a university medical center of all patients older than 12 years of age for whom clinical data were collected before deferoxamine therapy and within 6 hours of iron ingestion."3.69Leukocytosis, hyperglycemia, vomiting, and positive X-rays are not indicators of severity of iron overdose in adults. ( Palatnick, W; Tenenbein, M, 1996)
"Treatment with deferoxamine was prompt and followed by empiric N-acetylcysteine once liver injury was apparent."1.33Acute liver failure due to iron overdose in an adult. ( Daram, SR; Hayashi, PH, 2005)
"A 17-year-old patient with sickle cell-beta thalassemia undergoing treatment with home iron chelation therapy inadvertently received ten times the recommended dose of intravenous deferoxamine."1.32Acute renal failure following deferoxamine overdose. ( Flynn, JT; Levine, JE; Prasannan, L, 2003)
" He was treated with a unique deferoxamine dosage schedule (25 mg/kg/h for 12 h/d x 3 d), mechanical ventilation, Swan-Ganz catheter monitoring, dopamine/nitroprusside therapy, blood product, bicarbonate, electrolyte and volume replacement."1.29Survival after a severe iron poisoning treated with intermittent infusions of deferoxamine.
