Altering the lipophilicity (log P(app)) of desferrithiocin analogues can change the organ distribution of the chelators and lead to enhanced iron clearance. For example, alkylation of (S)-2-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-thiazolecarboxylic acid [(S)-4'-(HO)-DADFT] and its analogues to more lipophilic compounds, such as (S)-4,5-dihydro-2-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-4-methyl-4-thiazolecarboxylic acid [(S)-4'-(CH3O)-DADFT], provides ligands that achieved between a 3- and 8-fold increase in chelator concentrations in the heart, liver, and pancreas (the organs most at risk in iron-overload disease) of treated rodents. The 4'-O-methylated compounds are demethylated to their hydroxylated counterparts in rodents; furthermore, this O-demethylation takes place in both rodent and human liver microsomes. The relationship between chelator lipophilicity and iron-clearing efficacy in the iron-overloaded Cebus apella primate is further underscored by a comparison of the iron-clearing efficiency of (S)-2-(2,3-dihydroxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-thiazolecarboxylic acid [(S)-3'-(HO)-DADFT] and its 3'-(CH3O) counterpart. Finally, these DFT analogues are shown to be both inhibitors of the iron-mediated oxidation of ascorbate as well as effective radical scavengers.
