Comparison of clinically used and experimental iron chelators for protection against oxidative stress-induced cellular injury
Abstract
Iron imbalance plays an important role in oxidative stress associated with numerous pathological conditions. Therefore, iron chelation may be an effective therapeutic approach, but progress in this area is hindered by the lack of effective ligands. Also, the potential favorable effects of chelators against oxidative injury have to be balanced against their own toxicity due to iron depletion and the ability to generate redox-active iron complexes. In this study, we compared selected iron chelators (both drugs used in clinical practice as well as experimental agents) for their efficacy to protect cells against model oxidative injury induced by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP). In addition, intracellular chelation efficiency, redox activity, and the cytotoxicity of the chelators and their iron complexes were assayed. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid failed to protect cells against t-BHP cytotoxicity, apparently due to the redox activity of the formed iron complex. Hydrophilic desferrioxamine exerted some protection but only at very high clinically unachievable concentrations. The smaller and more lipophilic chelators, deferiprone, deferasirox, and pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone, were markedly more effective at preventing oxidative injury of cells. The most effective chelator in terms of access to the intracellular labile iron pool was di-2-pyridylketone 4,4-dimethyl-3-thiosemicarbazone. However, overall, the most favorable properties in terms of protective efficiency against t-BHP and the chelator's own inherent cytotoxicity were observed with salicylaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone. This probably relates to the optimal lipophilicity of this latter agent and its ability to generate iron complexes that do not induce marked redox activity.

An ideal metal chelator for Alzheimer's disease should meet essential qualities including moderate binding for metals, effective transit through biological membranes (particularly the blood-brain barrier), and thereby lower toxicity.
“A metal chelator as an ideal drug for AD should meet essential qualities including moderate binding for metals, effective transit through biological membranes (particularly the BBB) and thereby lower toxicity (Bendova et al., 2010).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
