The stability constants for the Fe(III) complexes of the orally active iron decorporation drug L1 (3-hydroxy-1,2-dimethyl-4-pyridinone) have been determined by potentiometric titration [glass electrode, 25.0 degrees C, mu = 0.15 mol/L (isotonic) NaCl]. A simple computer model of blood plasma (citrate 100 mumol/L, transferrin 37 mumol/L) has been used to compare the Fe(III) binding efficacies in blood of L1 and the clinically used intravenously administered chelating agent deferoxamine.
