General description

3-Hydroxy-1,2-dimethyl-4(1H)-pyridone (Hdpp, Deferiprone) is a hydroxy ketone derivative. It reacts with uranyl salts [UO2(NO3)2] in aqueous acidic solution to afford mono nuclear complexes ([UO2(dpp)(Hdpp)2(H2O)]ClO4). X-ray studies have been conducted to examine the structure and geometry of these complexes.

Application

3-Hydroxy-1,2-dimethyl-4(1H)-pyridone (OH-pyridone) may be used in the bacterial killing assays. It has been employed as hydroxyketone chelating agent and its cytotoxic action against oral human normal and tumor cell lines has been evaluated.

Hydroxyketone chelators, deferiprone (HK1), maltol (HK3) and their related compounds (HK2, 4-8), were characterized for their cytotoxic profiles against oral human normal and tumor cells. Most hydroxyketones except HK6 showed relatively higher tumor-specific cytotoxicity. Deferiprone (HK1), which showed the highest
