title: Synthesis and biological properties of iron chelators based on a bis-2-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-thiazole-4-carboxamide or -thiocarboxamide (BHPTC) scaffold.
abstract: Bis-2-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-thiazole-4-carboxamides and -thiocarboxamides (BHPTCs) form a family of gemini hexacoordinated bis-tridentate chelating scaffolds. Four molecules were synthesized and shown to chelate iron(III) efficiently with a 1:1 stoichiometry. A dithioamide BHPTC displayed promising antiproliferative activity in several cancerous cell lines, making this molecule an interesting lead compound for the design of new iron-chelating anticancer drugs. Conversely, diamide BHPTCs had significant cytoprotective activity against iron overload in HepaRG cells in vitro, and were as efficient as and less toxic than deferoxamine B (DFO).
