Abstract
The invention provides solid porous compositions, substantially insoluble in water, comprising at least 25% by weight of an oxidised cellulose and having a significant capacity to bind dissolved iron. The invention also provides a method of sequestering dissolved iron from aqueous environments by bringing said compositions into contact with said environments. The iron-binding property of oxidised cellulose may be used for the prevention or treatment of infections by iron-requiring micro-organisms such as bacteria and yeasts. It may also be used to treat chronic inflammatory lesions or processes where inappropriately available iron is acting as a catalyst for the generation of damaging reactive oxygen species.
