Ferruginin A

CAS: 73210-81-8

Ferruginin A is a marine-derived compound, classified as a natural iron chelator. It is isolated from various marine organisms, particularly sponges and seaweeds, known for their complex secondary metabolites. As an iron chelator, Ferruginin A functions by binding to free iron ions in biological systems, thereby reducing oxidative stress and preventing metal-catalyzed radical formation. This action is crucial, particularly in cellular environments where excess free iron can lead to detrimental oxidative damage.
