Ferrichrome (iron-free) is a ferric ionophore for Ustilago sphaerogena, which can serve as a source of iron for the enzyme ferrochelatase [1]. Ferrichrome can induce the adaptive growth of fission yeast on high ammonium medium and restore the iron-dependent pathways to compensate for the dysfunction of the vacuoles induced by ammonium [2]. Ferrichrome has been widely used to induce the iron transporter Arn1p from the endosomal pathway to the plasma membrane pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae[3].
In vitro, Ferrichrome treatment for 24 hours significantly inhibited HT29 cells, SKCO1 cells, and SW480 cells, with IC50 values of 0.02µg/ml, 0.34µg/ml, and 0.38µg/ml, respectively[4]. Treatment with 100µg/ml Ferrichrome for 72 hours significantly induced apoptosis in MKN-45 cells, accompanied by an increase in the expression levels of cleaved PARP and cleaved caspase-9[5]. Treatment with 10µg/ml Ferrichrome for 48 hours significantly increased the expression level of DDIT3 mRNA in SW620 cells, stimulated the activity of the JNK signaling pathway, and promoted cell death[6].
In vivo, Ferrichrome treatment via intraperitoneal injection at a dose of 10mg/kg/day for 8days significantly reduced tumor growth in mice with SUIT-2 xenografts[7].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
SW480 cells |
|
Preparation Method |
SW480 cells were seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 1×104 cells in high-glucose DMEM medium with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS), 2mM L-glutamine, 50U/ml penicillin, and 50µg/ml streptomycin in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2. After 24h of treatment with different concentrations of Ferrichrome (0, 0.1, 1, 2.5, and 5µg/ml), the cell viability was measured. |
|
Reaction Conditions |
0, 0.1, 1, 2.5, and 5µg/ml; 24h |
|
Applications |
Ferrichrome treatment significantly inhibited the cell viability of SW480 cells in a dose-dependent manner. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
Male BALB/c mice |
|
Preparation Method |
Male BALB/c mice (6 weeks old; 22-25g) were housed singly in a standard environment with food and water ad libitum. SUIT-2 cells (1×106/0.1ml) were injected subcutaneously into the back of male BALB/c nude mice. PBS for the studies evaluating the effects of Ferrichrome compared with PBS, Ferrichrome (10mg/kg/day) treatment was intraperitoneally administered after the injection of SUIT-2 cells for 8 days. The tumor volume was analyzed. |
|
Dosage form |
10mg/kg/day for 8 days; i.p. |
|
Applications |
Ferrichrome treatment significantly reduced tumor growth in mice with SUIT-2 xenografts. |
