Pharmaco/ferrokinetic-related pro-oxidant activity of deferiprone inβ-thalassemia

Abstract: The potential of free radical formation in serum of beta-thalassemia/Hb E patients receiving a single oral dose of 25 mg/kg body weight of deferiprone, a bidentate orally active iron chelator, was evaluated using EPR/spin trapping technique. In the presence of ascorbic acid and tert-butylhydroperoxide, EPR signals of ascorbyl radical (aH=0.18 mT) and DMPO-carbon centred adduct (aH=2.37 mT, aN=1.65 mT) were detected. Shortly after deferiprone administration, EPR signal intensities decreased concomitant with an … Show more

“…These confirm Fig S1A but also allow examination of higher DFP concentrations. Peak clinical DFP concentrations of 100 μmol/l have been reported (Jirasomprasert et al , ; Morales et al , ; Limenta et al , ) and under these concentrations and at trough concentrations of DFX, about 60% of iron(III) is predicted to be bound to DFP. This analysis suggests a ‘push–pull’ effect for iron binding over the range of clinically achieved concentrations, providing conditions for both shuttle and sink effects to occur.…”

“…Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) 'radical probe' was used to determine the total oxidative status in patients affected by thalassemia, and to evaluate new strategies of chelation, new chelators, or the efficacy of antioxidant formulas [166,167]. Raman spectroscopic technique has been developed for the monitoring of Raman hemoglobin bands to evaluate oxygenation capability, oxidative stress and deformities of thalassemic erythrocytes and to assess the responses to drug therapies [168].…”

“…Recently the pro-oxidant effect of non-transferrin bound iron complexes has been reviewed. 36 In this context the SOD-like activity of the iron(III) complexes of HPO, could be important in the reduction of side effects due to iron overload in addition to the chelation activity. The SOD activity of iron(III) complexes of HPO and β-CD conjugates were determined by competition kinetics using NBT target as reported elsewhere.…”
