Deferasirox (Fe3+ chelate) is an orally available iron chelator with potential anticancer activity, inhibits the anti-apoptotic activity of MCL-1, and can be used to study iron overload.

Ciclopirox (HOE296b) exerts its action by binding to and chelating trivalent cations, such as Fe3+ and Al3+, thereby inhibiting the availability of essential co-factors for enzymes. Ciclopirox is a synthetic, broad-spectrum antifungal agent with additional antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities. This may lead to a loss of activity of enzymes that are essential for cellular metabolism, the organization of cell wall structure and other crucial cell functions. In addition, ciclopirox exerts its anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase (COX).

Disodium nitrilotriacetate is used as a chelating agent, which forms coordination compounds with metal ions such as Fe3+, Cu2+, and Ca2+.

Pulcherriminic acid, a cyclic dipeptide antimicrobial compound predominantly found in Bacillus and yeast, exhibits a strong affinity for Fe3+. It chelates iron ions via a non-enzymatic reaction, forming the extracellular red pigment pulcherrimin. This pigment competes for iron nutrition, thereby exerting an antibacterial effect. Pulcherriminic acid holds significant potential for applications in the food, agriculture, and medical industries [1] [2].

Difluorinated H2S probe 1 is a fluorescent probe for hydrogen sulfide (H2S).1It selectively fluoresces in the presence of H2S over Zn2+, Fe3+, S2O32-, ClO-, SO32-, H2O2, NO2-, cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH) when used at a concentration of 1 μM. Difluorinated H2S probe 1 displays excitation/emission maxima of 365/450 nm, respectively. 1.Zhang, J., Gao, Y., Kang, X., et al.o,o-Difluorination of aromatic azide yields a fast-response fluorescent probe for H2S detection and for improved bioorthogonal reactionsOrg.

pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone (PIH) is a cell-permeable and relatively non-toxic iron (Fe3+) chelator that shows high iron chelation efficacy both in vitro and in vivo.

CP 375 is a Fe3+ chelating agent (log K1: 14.50).

Ferric maltol (Iron(III) 2-methyl-4-oxo-4H-pyran-3-olate) is a ferric, non-salt-based oral iron formulation demonstrating improved tolerance in patients with previous intolerance to other iron formulations.
