Iron chelation using subcutaneous infusions of diethylene triamine penta‐acetic acid (DTPA)

Abstract: The iron chelating ability and potential toxicity of subcutaneous infusions of the calcium and zinc salts of diethylene triamine penta‐acetic acid (DTPA) have been assessed in metabolic balance studies in 2 iron‐loaded thalassaemic patients. Infusions of calcium DTPA were locally well tolerated and the drug was as effective as desferrioxamine in mobilising iron. However, daily infusions in the 1st patient also produced symptomatic zinc depletion which could not be controlled by simultaneous oral zinc supplemen… Show more

“…DTPA strips metals other than iron (e.g., Zn), causing significant side effects (Pippard et al, 1986, Levien et al, 2005). In the case of the 3'- and 4'-polyether analogues, it was clear that although these ligands promoted the clearance of uranium, they were also excellent iron chelators.…”

“…or subcutaneous (s.c.) administration, and presents with a number of side effects associated with zinc stripping (Pippard et al, 1986, Levien et al, 2005). While parenterally administered chelators have a place, the lack of orally active ligands is of genuine concern in the case of mass exposure.…”

“…Potassium iodide is used to saturate the thyroid gland with stable iodine and prevent additional subsequent uptake of radioactive iodine (Kazzi et al, 2015). Ca-DTPA is usually recommended for an initial administration soon after intake owing to its higher efficacy; however, Zn-DTPA is preferred at later times because of its similar efficacy but lower toxicity (Pippard, Jackson, Hoffman, Petrou, & Modell, 1986;Taylor, Hodgson, & Stradling, 2007). In addition, i.v.…”
