Long-term carcinogenicity studies in animals have not been performed with deferoxamine mesylate. Cytotoxicity may occur, since deferoxamine mesylate has been shown to inhibit DNA synthesis in vitro.
Deferoxamine mesylate was not mutagenic when tested in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) and was not genotoxic in an in vivo micronucleus assay in rats.
Animal studies to assess fertility effects have not been conducted.
