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.

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.
