  ABSTRACT: Desferrioxamine (DFO), deferiprone (DFP) and deferasirox (DFX) are promising effective iron chelators for the treatment of iron overload in b-thalassemia patients; nonetheless, their side effects have also been reported. 3-Hydroxypyridinone derivatives are being developed as a safer new chelator and in combined chelation therapy. We evaluated the iron-chelating activity of 1-(N-acetyl-6-aminohexyl)-3-hydroxypyridin-4-one (CM1) in iron-loaded C57BL6 mice. The feeding of a ferrocene-supplemented diet (Fe diet) to mice resulted in iron overload, detectable plasma nontransferrin-bound iron (NTBI) and labile plasma iron (LPI), and increases of red cell membrane iron, plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) and excessive tissue iron deposits. Like DFP, the CM1 lowered the levels of the membrane non-heme iron, the NTBI and LPI (p
