Product Description
Deferoxamine (Deferoxamine B) is an iron chelator (binding Fe(III) and many other metal cations) that is extensively used to reduce iron accumulation and deposition in tissues. Deferoxamine has good anti-oxidant effect and can upregulate HIF-1α levels. Deferoxamine also has antiproliferation activity and can cause apoptosis and autophagy in cancer/tumor cells. Deferoxamine could be utilized in the research into diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and anti-cancer and anti-COVID-19.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In MEF cells, deferoxamine (1 mM; 16 hours or 4 weeks) lowers ROS and enhances HIF-1α function in hypoxic and hyperglycemic environments [1]. Deferoxamine (100 µM; 24 hours) raises the levels of p-Akt/total Akt/PKB and enhances the expression and activity of InsR [2]. Both bone marrow MSCs and tumor-associated MSCs are inhibited in their ability to proliferate by defremoxiamine (5, 10, 25, 50, 100 µM; 7 or 9 days). MSC apoptosis is induced by defremoxamine (5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 µM; 7 days) [3]. On MSCs, deferoxamine (10 µM; 3 days) had an impact on adhesion protein expression [3]. In SH-SY5Y cells, deferoxamine (100 µM; 24 hours) promotes autophagy mediated by HIF-1α levels [4].
ln Vivo
In aged or diabetic mice, deferoxamine (560.68 mg/tube; infusion; once daily for 21 days) improves wound healing and increases neovascularization [1]. In vivo, deferoxamine (200 mg/kg; i.p.; once daily for two weeks) boosts glucose uptake, hepatic InsR expression, and signaling while stabilizing HIF-1α [2].

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
