Pharmacology and toxicology
pharmachologic effect
Deferasirox is an orally active chelating agent that is highly selective for iron (Fe). It is a ligand with three coordination groups that binds to iron in a ratio of 2:1 with high affinity. Although the affinity of deferasirox to zinc and copper is very low, the concentration of these trace metals in the serum still decreases to varying degrees after administration. The clinical significance of these reductions in metal concentrations is unclear. Toxicological studies
