Biological Activity

[Description]:

Deferitrin (GT-56-252), a desferrithiocin (DFT) analogue, is an orally active trident iron chelator. Deferitrin is used for chronic iron overload due to transfusional therapy. Deferitrin has the potential for beta-thalassemia major[1][2].

[In Vitro]

The iron-clearing efficiency (ICE) of Deferitrin (GT-56-252) in a non-iron-overloaded rodent model after oral (po) administration at 300 µmol/kg is shown to be 1.1%[1].
