“Intracellular iron quantification indicated that, as deferoxamine , exogenous NO significantly decreased intracellular ferric iron levels in tumor cells.”
“This study demonstrates that DFO is a potent S-phase inhibitor of DNA synthesis in human lymphocytes in vitro, and this inhibitory effect of DFO is reversible by adding appropriate amounts of ferric ion.”
“Addition of the iron chelator desferrioxamine to reduce the accumulation of ferric iron from heme by HO-1 resulted in blockade of the aggravated oxygen radical production.”

“As one potential source of ROS formation we identified the lysosomal Fe(2+) pool, since the ferric ion chelator deferoxamin inhibited ROS formation by approximately 15%.”
“This residual MPP+ production appeared to be iron‐dependent since it was decreased (30 to 50%) by iron chelators, i.e., deferoxamine or phenanthroline, and was enhanced (by approximately 40%) in the presence of ADP‐Fe3+. ”
