Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Deferoxamine is a bacterial siderophore produced by the Actinobacteria Streptomyces pilosus. It has medical applications as a chelating agent used to remove excess iron from the body. The mesylate salt of DFO-B is commercially available. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most important medications needed in a basic health system. Deferoxamine acts by binding free iron in the bloodstream and enhancing its elimination in the urine.

Biological target:
Deferoxamine mesylate is an iron chelator that binds free iron in a stable complex, preventing it from engaging in chemical reactions.
In vitro activity:
To explore the underlying mechanism of the effect of DFO on K562 cells, the expression of apoptosis-related genes Bax, p53, and Fas were assessed by Western blotting and qRT-PCR, respectively. As expected, it was found that the protein (Figure 3) and mRNA (Figure 4) levels of Bax, p53, and Fas were dose-dependently increased in DFO-treated K562 cells, while the level of Bcl-2 markedly decreased in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that DFO plays a protective role in leukemia by inhibiting leukemia cell viability and inducing cell apoptosis via regulating apoptosis-related genes expression.

In vivo activity:
The impact of ferroptosis on the progression of NASH induced was demonstrated by methionine/choline-deficient diet (MCD) feeding for 10 days. Because iron overload promoted the progression from NAFLD to NASH, iron-chelating agent, DFO (deferoxamine mesylate), which binds free iron, and is widely used to treat iron overload-associated disease, was used.Ttreatment of DFO successfully inhibited NASH progression, as confirmed by decreased histopathologic lesions; serum levels of ALT, AST, hepatic lipid peroxidation–associated MDA; and GSH levels (Figure 3, A–D). In addition, treatment of DFO attenuated RSL-3–mediated exacerbation of NASH severity, in contrast to the results from Figures 1 and 2 (Figure 3, A–D). In accordance with these results, markedly lower lipid accumulation was seen in MCD-fed mice treated with DFO, compared with that in MCD-fed mice without DFO treatment, as revealed by Oil-red O staining and hepatic triglyceride levels (Figure 3, A, E, and F). In addition, treatment of DFO abrogated the RSL-3–mediated increment of lipid accumulation in MCD-fed mice (Figure 1, B, D, and F, and Figure 3, A, E, and F).
