Deferoxamine (Deferoxamine B) is an iron chelator (binding Fe(III) and many other metal cations), widely used to reduce the accumulation and deposition of iron in tissues. Deferoxamine has good antioxidant activity, can upregulate HIF-1α levels. Deferoxamine also has anti-proliferative activity, inducing cancer cell apoptosis and autophagy. Deferoxamine can be used for research on diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, as well as anti-cancer and anti-COVID-19 studies.
