Enhanced Iron Removal in Experimental Iron Overload by Nanoniosomes of Desferrioxamine
Abstract: This preliminary study explores the feasibility of employing nanocapsules prepared from nonionic surfactant vesicles (niosomes) as a carrier for an iron-chelating agent, Desferrioxamine (DFO, Desferal), to enhance iron excretion from the body. The methodology consisted of creating an iron overload model in an experimental animal followed by measurement of iron excretion pattern in the urine by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Niosomes were prepared with span 60: cholesterol:dicetyl phosphate by the lipid …
