CAS No: 4682-36-4

Formula: C₇H₉NO₂

Molecular Weight: 139.15 g/mol

Therapeutic Category: Iron Chelating Agents

Uses: This drug is used by persons who have too much iron in their bodies due to recurrent blood transfusions (such as required for those with blood disorders like Thalassemia and Sickle cell anaemia). Blood transfusions aid in the treatment of blood diseases, but they also introduce excess iron into the body. It is critical to eliminate excess iron since high amounts of iron can create health concerns (such as heart failure, liver disease, diabetes, and delayed growth in children). Deferiprone is prescribed if you have difficulty taking other traditional iron-removal medications or if your iron levels remain high even after taking other iron-removal medications.

CAS No: 30652-11-0

Formula: C₁₃H₁₉NO₂

Molecular Weight: 276.20 g/mol

IUPAC Name: 3-hydroxy-1,2-diemthylpyridin-4-one

Therapeutic Category: Antidepressant

Uses: Bupropion's mechanism of action involves inhibiting the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain, impacting mood, energy levels, and concentration. It also appears to act as a nicotinic receptor antagonist, potentially contributing to its effectiveness in smoking cessation. However, its exact mechanisms in treating these various conditions are not fully understood and continue to be investigated.

CAS No: 84611-23-4
