The pursuit of orally available Fe(III) chelating agents has resulted in several clinical trials of 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxypyrid-4-one (CP20). Chromatography of this and related Fe chelators on silica-based columns has proven difficult due to unwanted interactions with the stationary phase, including with
