VIT-2763 (30, 100 mg/kg, orally twice daily for 36 days) decreases serum iron and prevented liver iron loading in Hbbth3/+ mice[1].
VIT-2763 did not change the total liver iron[1].
VIT-2763 (30, 100 mg/kg, orally twice daily for 36 days) significantly corrects anemia and improved RBC parameters in Hbbth3/+ mice. VIT-2763 decreases the percentage of ROS-positive RBCs in Hbbth3/+ mice from 67% to 30%[1].
VIT-2763 decreases apoptosis and extends the life span of RBCs in Hbbth3/+ mice[1].
| Animal Model: | Hbbth3/+ mice[1].
|
| Dosage: | 30, 100 mg/kg. |
| Administration: | Orally twice daily for 36 days. |
| Result: | Significantly decreased serum iron levels by 77% (30 mg/kg) and 84% (100 mg/kg),
Significantly increased Hb levels (as of day 8 of treatment), RBC counts, mean corpuscular Hb concentration (MCHC), and significantly lowered reticulocyte counts, mean corpuscular Hb (MCH), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and RBC distribution width (RDW) in Hbbth3/+ mice, as compared with the Hbbth3/+ vehicle group.
