Fe is an important catalyst of oxidative radical reactions and promotes the formation of the hydroxyl radical from the superoxide anion radical and hydrogen peroxide. The stimulatory effect of the hydroxyl radical on lipid peroxidation prompted the speculation that free Fe may directly promote inflammation and that Fe chelating agents may have useful antiinflammatory properties. This hypothesis is tested in animal models of inflammation with a specific Fe chelating agent, desferrioxamine. At low doses (6.6 mg/kg) i.p. desferrioxamine stimulated the induction of acute foot pad swelling in rats by monosodium urate but at higher doses (above 200 mg/kg) it suppressed this inflammatory reaction. A similar antiinflammatory effect was observed in carrageenan-induced foot pad swelling. In guinea pigs in which a Glynn-Dumonde synovitis was induced with bovine gammaglobulin, desferrioxamine (100 mg/kg) stimulated the acute inflammatory induction phase of this chronic allergic monoarthritis model. Repeated administration of desferrioxamine (100 mg/kg) from the 7-12th day after intra-articular challenge with bovine gammaglobulin markedly depressed the chronic inflammatory phase. In vitro experiments suggest that desferrioxamine inhibits Fe-catalyzed lipid peroxidation when it is poorly saturated with Fe, but loses this effect when it is Fe saturated. Such an effect may explain the results with desferrioxamine in the animal studies and suggests that effective Fe chelation and its removal may modify the inflammatory process in man.
