Los trastornos en el metabolismo del hierro pueden causar enfermedades tanto por defecto como por exceso del mismo en el organismo, no existiendo una cura actualmente para ninguno de ellos. Recientemente se ha descrito una proteína, la hepcidina, que es la encargada de regular la homeostasis de este metal, lo que abre todo un abanico de posibles terapias dirigidas contra esta diana. En este trabajo se hace un resumen de los nuevos fármacos que se han ido diseñando (aún no hay ninguno comercializado) y se proponen nuevas opciones terapéuticas utilizando la ingeniería de proteínas como herramienta para crear agonistas y antagonistas de la hepcidina.
The iron metabolism disorders can cause both iron overload and iron deficiency diseases, for which there is no cure at this moment. Recently a new protein, hepcidin, has been described, and its function is to regulate the homeostasis of this metal, which opens a new bunch of possible therapies against this target. In this work there is a summary of the new drugs which have been designed (none of them is comercialized yet) and new therapeuitcal options are proposed using the protein engineering as a tool to create both agonists and antagonists of the hepcidin.
