An iron chelator that binds iron and aluminium; increases HIF-1α transactivation in diabetes by preventing iron-catalyzed reactive oxygen stress.

2H-Naphth[2′,1′:4,5]indeno[1,2-d][1,3]dioxole, pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione deriv showed high local anti-inflammatory potency and high lung selectivity when tested on Sprague Dawley rats.
