Usage

Uses

Used in Medical Therapy:
Deferoxamine mesylate is used as a therapeutic agent for patients with sickle cell diseases and iron overload. It helps in reducing the harmful effects of excess iron in the body by chelating and removing it.
Used as a Chelating Agent:
Deferoxamine mesylate is used as a chelating agent for both iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al). It is effective in experimentally inhibiting iron-dependent prolyl hydroxylases (EC50 = 17.8 μM), which prevents the degradation of isoforms of hypoxia-inducible factor during normoxia.
Used in Antioxidant Neuroprotection:
Deferoxamine mesylate is used as an antioxidant neuroprotective agent in stroke patients. Its potential antioxidant properties can help in reducing the damage caused by oxidative stress during a stroke.
Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
In the pharmaceutical industry, Deferoxamine mesylate is used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient in the formulation of drugs for the treatment of iron overload disorders and related conditions. It is also used in the development of drug delivery systems to enhance its efficacy and bioavailability.
Brand Name:
The brand name for Deferoxamine mesylate is Desferal, which is manufactured by Novartis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

An iron chelator used often in the studies of cell proliferation and apoptosis. Has been shown to have anti-proliferative effects on vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro and in vivo and to arrest cells in the G1 phase. Also reported to induce p53. Induces apoptosis in HL-60 cells by chelating iron. After 48 hrs treatment with 1μM deferoxamine, DNA fragmentation was apparent. Cells treated with 0.1 μM deferoxamine for as little as 24 hours were committed to apoptosis; by 48 hrs nuclear collapse was observed. In some studies it has been shown to have antioxidant properties and to protect cells against H2O2-induced damage.

Clinical Use

Chelating agent:Acute iron poisoningChronic iron or aluminium overload

Veterinary Drugs and Treatments

Deferoxamine is used for the treatment of either acute or chronic iron toxicity. It is being evaluated as an iron chelator for adjunctive treatment of acute cardiac ischemia and as a chelator for aluminum toxicity. Its efficacy in treating reperfusion injuries has been disappointing.

Drug interactions

Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugsAvoid prochlorperazine, levomepromazine and methotrimeprazine (prolonged unconsciousness).Do not administer with blood.

Metabolism

When given parenterally desferrioxamine forms chelates with iron and aluminium ions to form ferrioxamine and aluminoxamine, respectively. The chelates are excreted in the urine and faeces via the bile. Desferrioxamine is metabolised, mainly in the plasma. Four metabolites of desferrioxamine were isolated from urine of patients with iron overload. The following biotransformation reactions were found to occur with desferrioxamine: transamination and oxidation yielding an acid metabolite, beta-oxidation also yielding an acid metabolite, decarboxylation and N-hydroxylation yielding neutral metabolites.

Multistage process for the preparation of highly pure deferoxamine mesylate salt

The present invention provides a purification process whereby deferoxamine B produced by a microorganism and in mixture with other polyhydroxamates produced by the microorganism may be converted into its mesylate salt substantially free of the other polyhydroxamates and substantially free of chloride ion. The process includes adsorption and desorption of the deferoxamine B on an adsorption resin, direct precipitation of the deferoxamine free base out of the eluent from the adsorption resin, contacting of the deferoxamine B free base with methanesulfonic acid and isolation of the deferoxamine B mesylate salt by precipitation. This process minimizes decomposition of deferoxamine B.
