Admixture of insulin and a hydroxypyridone being: (1) a 3-hydroxypyrid-4-one in which the hydrogen atom attached to the nitrogen atom is replaced by an aliphatic acyl group, by an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, or by an aliphatic hydrocarbon group substituted by one or more substituents selected from aliphatic acyl, alkoxy, cycloalkoxy, aliphatic amide, aliphatic ester, halogen and hydroxy groups and, optionally, in which one or more of the hydrogen atoms attached to ring carbon atoms are replaced by an aliphatic acyl, alkoxy, cycloalkoxy, aliphatic amide, aliphatic ester, halogen or hydroxy group, by an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, or by an aliphatic hydrocarbon group substituted by an alkoxy, cycloalkoxy, aliphatic ester, halogen or hydroxy group, or a salt thereof.

Stabilization of organic compounds

Iron complexes comprising a ferric cation in combination with at least two different ligands, at least one of which is provided by a compound being:

Pharmaceutical compositions

Compounds in which two or more rings, being a 3-hydroxpypyrid-2-one, 3-hydroxypyrid-4-one or 1-hydroxpyrid-2-one, are linked are of value in the treatment of patients having a toxic concentration of a metal, particularly iron, in the body while the iron complexes of such compounds are of value in the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia.

Iron complexes of hydroxypyridones useful for treating iron overload

Pharmaceutical compositions for the buccal or nasal administration of a neutral 3:1 hydroxypyrone:iron(III) complex of 3-hydroxy-4-pyrone or of a 3-hydroxy-4-pyrone in which one or more of the hydrogen atoms attached to ring carbon atoms are replaced by an aliphatic hydrocarbon group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms are of value for the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia.

Compounds in which two or more rings, being a 3-hydroxpypyrid-2-one, 3-hydroypyrid-4-one or 1-hydropyrid-2-one, are linked are of value in the treatment of patients having a toxic concentration of a metal, particularly iron, in the body while the iron complexes of such compounds are of value in the treatment of iron deficien

Zinc(II) complexes in which at least one ligand is provided by a compound being:

Pharmaceutically active zinc complexes

Pharmaceutical compositions containing an iron complex of 3-hydroxy-4-pyrone or of a 3-hydroxy-4-pyrone in which one or more of the hydrogen atoms attached to ring carbon atoms are replaced by an aliphatic hydrocarbon group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms are of value for the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia.

Compounds in which two or more rings, being a 3-hydroxypypyrid-2-one, 3-hydroxypyrid-4-one or 1-hydroxpyrid-2-one, are linked are of value in the treatment of patients having a toxic concentration of a metal, particularly iron, in the body while the iron complexes of such compounds are of value in the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia.

Pharmaceutical compositions of hydroxypyridones

Pharmaceutical compositions and methods for increasing zinc levels

Pharmaceutical compositions containing an iron complex of a 3-hydroxypyrid-2-one or 3-hydroxypyrid-4-one in which the hydrogen atom attached to the nitrogen atom is replaced by an aliphatic acyl group, by an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, or by an aliphatic hydrocarbon group substituted by one or, except in the case of ionizable groups, more than one substituent selected from aliphatic acyl, alkoxy, aliphatic amine, aliphatic amide, carboxy, aliphatic ester, halogen, hydroxy and sulpho groups and, optionally, in which one or more of the hydrogen atoms attached to ring carbon atoms are replaced by one of said substituents, by an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, or by an aliphatic hydrocarbon group substituted by an alkoxy, aliphatic ester, halogen or hydroxy group, but excluding compounds in which said replacement of hydrogen atoms in the compound is effected only by aliphatic hydrocarbon groups, are of value for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia.

Iron-pyridone complexes for anemia

Compounds which are a 1-hydroxypyrid-2-one in which one or more of the hydrogen atoms attached to ring carbon atoms are replaced by a substituent selected from aliphatic acyl, aliphatic amide, aliphatic amine, carboxy, cyano, aliphatic ester, halogen, hydroxy and sulpho groups, alkoxy groups and alkoxy groups substituted by an alkoxy, aliphatic amide, aliphatic amine, aliphatic ester, halogen or hydroxy group, aliphatic hydrocarbon groups and aliphatic hydrocarbon groups substituted by an alkoxy, aliphatic ester, halogen or hydroxy group, but excluding compounds in which said replacement of hydrogen atoms in the compound is effected only by substituents selected from aliphatic hydrocarbon groups, halogen groups and aliphatic hydrocarbon groups substituted by a halogen group, or a salt thereof containing a physiolgically acceptable ion or ions, are of value in the treatment of patients having a toxic concentration of a metal, particularly iron, in the body whilst the iron complexes of such compounds are of value in the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia.

Pharmaceutical compositions containing an iron complex of a 3-hydroxypyrid-2-one or 3-hydroxypyrid-4-one in which the hydrogen atom attached to the nitrogen atom is replaced by an aliphatic hydrocarbon group and, optionally, in which one or more of the hydrogen atoms attached to ring carbon atoms are also replaced by an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, are of value for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia.
