  • Combination Treatment of Hydroxpyridonate Actinide/Lanthanide Decorporation Agents
    Publication number: 20120214843
    Abstract: The invention provides for a method for treating a subject in need of such treatment comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of one or more pharmaceutical compositions comprising a 1,2-HOPO chelating agent and a 3,2-HOPO chelating agent to a subject in need of such treatment. The use of both 1,2-HOPO and a 3,2-HOPO chelating agents in combination is more effective than using only one chelating agent alone.
