<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p> Background: Siderophore is an iron chelator produced by microorganism. Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces two siderophores (pyoverdin and pyochelin). Desferrioxamine is a siderophore used in thalassemia patients to treat an iron overload of vital organs. Objective: Compare the ability of pyoverdin, pyochelin, and desferrioxamine for iron mobilization from ferritin. Materials and Methods: In vitro experiment, the ability of P. aeruginosa siderophores and desferrioxamine for iron mobilization from ferritin was compared by using a dialysis membrane assay at pH values of 7.4 and 6.0. Stimulation of P. aeruginosa PAO1 growth by all siderophores was studied in glucose minimum medium. Results: All three compounds were capable of iron mobilization at both pHs. At pH 6.0, the most effectiveness compound was desferrioxamine (31.6%), followed by pyoverdin (21.5%) and pyochelin (13.7%) compared on weight basis, each at 10 μg/mL. At equimolar concentration, their activities were desferrioxamine (38.5±1.2%), followed by pyoverdin (32.0±4.8%) and pyochelin (26.7±1.9%), respectively.
