Haematinics
 Haematinics are substances required in the formation of blood, and are used for
treatment of anaemias.
 Hematopoiesis : Production of circulating erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets from
bone marrow stem cells, is called hematopoiesis.

Anaemia is reduced concentration of haemoglobin in the blood i.e. deficiency in
oxygen-carrying erythrocytes.
Normal values: Male = 13.2 -17.0 g/dL
Normal values: Female = 12.0 -16.0 g/dL
Causes :
 Anaemia occurs when balance between production and destruction of RBCs are
disturbed by :
i) Blood loss (acute or chronic) for eg. In menstruation and trauma conditions.
ii) Increased destruction of RBCs ( i. e. hemolytic anemia)
iii) Impaired red cell formation due to
 Deficiency of iron, Vitamin B12, folic acid.
 Bone marrow depression caused by :

drug toxicity (e.g. anticancer drug)

disease of bone marrow
reduce production of erythropoietin (e.g. chronic renal failure, RA, AIDS)
Types of Anaemia
1.Microcytic Anaemia : deficiency of Iron.
2.Macrocytic Anaemia : deficiency of folic acid and B12.
3.Pernicious Anaemia : Lack of intrinsic factor INF.
4.Aplastic Anaemia : due to Bone marrow dysfunction.
5.Haemolytic anaemia : Excessive haemolysis.
6.Sickle cell anaemia : Sickle shaped RBCs. 4
Amity Institute of PharmacySymptoms of Anaemia
The main symptom of anaemia is fatigue but, especially if it is chronic, is often
surprisingly asymptomatic.
Other symptoms include :
weakness,
pale skin,
rapid heartbeat,
shortness of breath.
chest pain,
dizziness,
irritability (in children with anaemia),
coldness in hands and feet.

IRON
 All body cells need iron. It is crucial for oxygen transport, energy production, and cellular
growth and proliferation.
 The human body contains an average 3.5 g of iron (males 4 g, females 3 g).
 Typical daily normal diet contains 1020 mg of iron. 5 - 10% of ingested iron is absorbed i.e.
1-2mg.
 Daily loss is about  0.5-1mg.
Distribution :
 About 65% iron circulates in blood as haemoglobin.
 25% stored in Liver, spleen and bone marrow as Ferritin and haemosiderin available for
haemoglobin synthesis.
 Rest present in Myoglobin, cytochrome and various enzymes.
7
Amity Institute of PharmacyHaemoglobin molecule
 1 Hb = 4 protein chain (globins)+ 4
heam moiety.
 Haem consists of : Tetrapyrrole
porphyrin ring containing ferrous
(Fe2 +
)ion.
 O2 molecule binds reversibly to Fe 2+
and to a histidine residue in the
globin chain.

Amity Institute of PharmacyIron : Absorption
 Site of absorption - duodenum and upper jejunum.
 In stomach iron dissolves and binds to mucoprotein (carrier).
Dietary iron in ferric form (Fe3 +
) is low soluble in neutral pH and not absorb.
Reduce to ferrous form (Fe2 +
) + vitamin C.
Soluble iron-ascorbate chelate
Absorption occurs.

Ascorbic acid

Iron enters in plasma in ferrous form

Immediately into ferric form
Complex with transferrin a carrier (glycoprotein)

Storage in the mucosal cell
as ferritin
To the plasma
Amity Institute of Pharmacy
Iron : Storage & Excretion
 In two forms : Ferritin & Haemosiderin.
Apoferritin + ferric (Fe3 +
) Haemosiderin
Excretion by:
 Exfoliation/ desquamation of GI mucosal cells (ferritin stored in it) : the process is
called ferritin curtain.
 Small amount in bile, sweat and urine.
11
Aggregates
Ferritin
Amity Institute of Pharmacy
Iron Preparations
Oral Iron Preparations :
Preferred route.
Dissociable ferrous salts : inexpensive, increased iron content, better absorbed.
 Ferrous Sulfate - Cheapest form of Iron and one of the most widely used.
 Side Effects are extremely mild:
 Nausea, upper abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhea.
Parenteral Iron Preparations
May be given when-
Oral iron not tolerated : bowel upset is too much.
Not absorbed orally : malabsorption, surgical procedures, inflammatory condition
(RA).
In patients with : chronic renal failure, chemotherapy-induced anaemia. 12
Amity Institute of Pharmacy
Parenteral Iron Preparations
 Iron-dextran: slow iv or deep im (50mg/ml)
circulated without binding to transferrin, not excreted in urine or in bile.
 Iron-sorbitol-citric acid: only im (not favored now because producing higher side
effects.
 Iron sucrose : iv injection
Less side effects, safer drug than older preparations.
 Ferric carboxymaltose : iv only
less side effects, anaphylaxis is rare.
13
Amity Institute of Pharmacy
Toxicity of Iron Overload
 Acute iron toxicity
 Chronic iron toxicity
 Treated by : Desferrioxamine  an iron chelator (DOC)
- It bound with ferric & unbound iron, not absorbed from the gut & prevent its
absorption.
- In severe poisoning, it is given by slow iv infusion.
Deferiprone - orally absorbed iron chelator
14
Amity Institute of Pharmacy
Clinical Uses of Iron
 To treat iron deficiency anaemia which can be caused by:
-chronic blood loss (e.g. menorrhagia, trauma, colon cancer)
-increased demand (e.g. in pregnancy and premature babies, menstruating
womens)
-Inadequate dietary intake
-Inadequate absorption (e.g. following gastrectomy)
 In GI Bleeding due to: Ulcers, Aspirin, Excess consumption of coffee
15
Amity Institute of Pharmacy
Maturation factors : Vitamin B12
 A B12 deficiency will cause a pernicious
anemia and it take up to two years to
develop.
 Source: In food, especially in liver and
kidneys.
 Vitamin B12 is essential for cell growth and
multiplication
 Absorption of B12 : binds with intrinsic
factor (IF) in the stomach. The B12-IF
complex then travels through the small
intestine and is absorbed in the distal ileum.
16
Distal ileum
Site of B12 absorption
Oesophagus
Stomach

factor
Vitamin B12
ingested
Amity Institute of Pharmacy
Maturation factors : Vitamin B12
 Cyanocobalamine
 Hydroxycobalamine
 Methylcobalamine
Actions
 Vitamin B12 is required for two main reactions :
 The conversion of methyl-FH4(inactive) to FH4(active). Necessary for
normal DNA synthesis.
 The conversion of methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA.
17
Amity Institute of Pharmacy
Maturation factors : Folic acid
 Source in food  yeast, egg yolk, liver and leafy vegetables.
 Folic Acid is absorbed in the small intestines.
 Folic Acid deficiency (F.A. Deficiency) is also called Wills Disease.
 Deficiency may produce megaloblastic anemia; teratogenic effects.
 Folic acid and vitamin B12 required for maturation of haemoglobin.
Actions of Folic acid
 Folic acid is inactive and is converted to tetrahydrofolate by dihydrofolate reductase.
 This enzyme reduces dietary folic acid to FH4 and also regenerates FH4 from FH2.
 It is generally given orally.
 Folinic acid is synthetic preparation of folic acid.
18
Amity Institute of PharmacyUses of Folic acid
1) In megaloblastic anaemia due to inadequate dietary intake of folic acid
 Can be due to chronic alcoholism, malabsorption syndromes, cancer or
hepatic disease.
1) Increased demand : pregnancy, lactation, premature infancy, RA, etc.
19
Amity Institute of Pharmacy
Haemopoietic Growth Factors
 Erythropoietin is required for erythropoiesis.
 Erythropoietin is a hormone produced in juxtatubular cells in the kidney which
regulated division and differentiation of blood cells.
 Erythropoietin deficiency also results in anaemia.
 Erythropoietin preparations :
1.Epoeitin 留 and 硫 (recombinant erythropoietin) ; given parenteraly only.
2.Darbopoeitin ; is longer acting preparation.
20
Amity Institute of Pharmacy
Clinical Uses of Epoietin
Anaemia due to:
 Chronic renal failure.
 Cancer chemotherapy.
 AIDS.
 Premature infants.
 Chronic inflammatory disorders (RA).
 In Chronic Heamolytic Anaemia.
