In Vitro and In Situ Permeability of a 'Second Generation' Hydroxypyridinone Oral Iron Chelator: Correlation with Physico-Chemical Properties and Oral Activity

Purpose. The in vitro and in situ transport of CGP 65015 ((+)-3-hydroxy-1-(2-hydroxyethyl) -2-hydroxyphenyl-methyl-1 H-pyridin-4-one), a novel oral iron chelator, is described. The predictive power of these data in assessing intestinal absorption in man is described.
