摘要: A long-term clinical trial of 1-15 months has been carried out with the oral iron chelator 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxypyrid-4-one (L1) in 13 transfusion-dependent iron-loaded patients. Urinary excretion was greatest patients thalassaemia major and related to number previous transfusions but not serum ferritin level. Substantial increases urinary were observed all when frequency daily dose doubled response 2 x 3 g L1 11 12 tested excreted greater than 25 mg daily, mean intake from transfusion. Serum levels have fluctuated overall remained unchanged. Pharmacological studies five indicated rapid absorption probably stomach variable plasma half life 77 +/- 35 min (X SD). Glucuronation identified as a route metabolism. Short-term intensive chelation using repeated administration resulted further by comparison single dose. In one case 325 urine following 16 (5 + g) within 24 h. Iron six transfusional who maintained on low diet before during chelation. No significant faecal doses up 4 g. The high level compliance treatment that can be achieved increase prospects for
