Deferasirox Pharmacological effects

DFS has antifungal activity (such as Mucor growing in the iron-rich environment), anti-cell proliferation, anti-malaria, anti-oxidative stress injury, anti-cytotoxicity induced apoptosis and other pharmacological effects.
1. DFS and fungal infection
Iron is a substance that fungi rely on, and plays a very important role in the growth and toxicity of fungi. The antifungal effect of iron chelator may be due to their effect of removal of the iron necessary for fungal growth, so as to achieve the purpose of treatment of fungal infection.
2. DFS and cell proliferation
Iron plays a very important role in the process of cell proliferation. Iron chelators may have anti-proliferative properties, suggesting that iron chelators may be a novel anticancer agent for the treatment of tumors.
