Catalog No.GC13554 |
Deferoxamine mesylate is a drug that chelates iron by forming a stable complex that prevents the iron from entering into further chemical reactions, and is used for the treatment of chronic iron overload in patients with transfusion-dependent anemias.

Deferoxamine mesylate is a drug that chelates iron by forming a stable complex that prevents the iron from entering into further chemical reactions, and is used for the treatment of chronic iron overload in patients with transfusion-dependent anemias[1,2].
Deferoxamine mesylate (260μM) is directly toxic on RPE cells, its toxicity depending on p38[1]. Deferoxamine mesylate administration resulted in reduced cytotoxicity and ROS generation by Fe(Salen) in Rabbit squamous cell carcinoma (VX2) cells, human glioblastoma malignant glioma cells (YKG)OVK18, and human ovarian carcinoma cells[3]. Deferoxamine mesylate (30μM) significantly inhibits the growth of human hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatoblastoma cell lines[4].
Deferoxamine mesylate enhances urinary iron elimination and decreases hepatic iron accumulation after blood transfusion in foals[2]. Deferoxamine mesylate (25mg/kg, intravenous injection) reduced the onset of Fe (Salen) (25mg/kg)-induced acute liver and renal dysfunction. Deferoxamine mesylate (300mg/kg) improves survival rate after systematic injection of a fatal dose of Fe (Salen) (200mg/kg) in Male ICR[3]. Use of deferoxamine mesylate in bone defects promotes vascularization and osteogenesis in the defect area, and maintains the protein activity of HIF-1α temporarily[5]. Deferoxamine mesylate can ameliorate tissue ischemia-reperfusion injury. Deferoxamine mesylate preconditioning protected pancreatic tissue in orthotopic liver autotransplantation in rats[6].
