pivalde, PBT434 has something DFP does not. That is PBT434 has optimal iron binding affinity for efficacy and safety in PD. DFP was approved as an iron chelator indicated for treatment of transfusional iron overload caused by thalassemia syndromes when current chelation therapy is inadequate. As such DFP is much stronger than is required for chelation of labile(free) iron in Parkinsonian conditions. DFP has to be used with care to avoid serious complications. All IMHO. DYOR.
