Abstract

A disulfide bond is incorporated in the scaffold of thiosemicarbazone iron chelators as a reduction/activation switch. Following reduction, thiol-containing ligands stabilize iron ions in their trivalent oxidation state. The antiproliferative activity of the new chelating systems is assessed in human cancer cell lines and in normal tissue.
