Deferoxamine mesylate is the salt version of Deferoxamine, a bacterial siderophore produced by actinobacteria Streptomyces pilosus, with many medical applications. Since it chelates with iron and aluminum it is useful for removing excesses of both metals from the body. It has an anti-proliferative effect on vascular smooth muscles cells both in vitro and in vivo. Deferoxamine also induces apoptosis in many cells in less than a day, and can possibly be used as both an anti-cancer agent and an antimicrobial.
