Chelators, iron

Solutions of iron chelates can be used to remove hydrogen sulfide and oxides of sulfur and nitrogen in industrial gas scmbbing processes (41,50,51) before flue gases are released to the atmosphere. 

Another compound, the antimicrobial action of which is associated with chelation, is 2-pyridinethiol-A/-oxide [3811-73-2] (Omadine). Activity has been shown to depend on coordinating property. The iron chelate is active, but not the free pyridine compound (200). In the form of its zinc chelate it is found in shampoos to control seborrheic dermatitis (201). Other appHcations of this useful chemical include preservation of adhesives, plastics, latex paints, polyurethane foam, and metal working fluids (202). 

DOX, as EPI seems to form fewer amounts of ROS and secondary alcohol metabolite, (ii) encapsulation of anthracyclines in uncoated or pegylated liposomes that ensure a good drug delivery to the tumor but not to the heart, (iii) conjugation of anthracyclines with chemical moieties that are selectively recognized by the tumor cells, (iv) coadministration of dexrazoxane, an iron chelator that diminishes the disturbances of iron metabolism and free radical formation in the heart, and (v) administration of anthracyclines by slow infusion rather than 5-10 min bolus (Table 1). Pharmacological interventions with antioxidants have also been considered, but the available clinical studies do not attest to an efficacy of this strategy. 

A molecule that binds iron through coordinating moieties (e.g., carboxylates or amines). They are used to inhibit iron-catalyzed free radical reactions or to treat iron overload conditions. Desferrioxamine and defer-iprone are two widely used iron chelators.

NOTE Although control over transported iron is critical in larger power boilers, as discussed earlier, control by the chelation of ferric iron is not possible (because of the competing anion effect). Consequently, Fe203 and Fef04 are essentially unaffected by chelants. However, it is well known that where an iron chelate (chelonate) is formed, it is stable and will not be destroyed by hydrolysis at high temperature. 

The second reaction needs to be suppr ol as much as jwssible as die product Fe" (EDTA) is not capable of reacting with NO. In the biochemical regeno-ation step, die loaded iron-chelate solution (Xintainir Fe°(EDTA) "(NO) and Fe (EDTA)", is contacted with specific micro-organisms that convert the nitrosyl complex bade to the original Fe (EDTA) complex and Na In addition, Fe (EDTA) is rrfuced to the original Fe"(EDTAT compound [2] ... 

The intrinsic kinetics of the reactions taking place in the scrubber, i.e. the reaction of NO with the iron chelate forming an iron nitrosyl complex (eq. 1) and the undesired oxidation reaction of the iron chelate (xanpla (eq. 2) wae deteimined in dedicated stirred cell contactors. Typical process conditions were T = 25-55 °C [Fe"(EDTA) "] = 1-100 mol/m [NO] = 1-1000 ppm pH = 5-8 and an oxygen level ranging between 1 and 20 vol%. 

The experimental results imply that the main reaction (eq. 1) is an equilibrium reaction and first order in nitrogen monoxide and iron chelate. The equilibrium constants at various temperatures were determined by modeling the experimental NO absorption profile using the penetration theory for mass transfer. Parameter estimation using well established numerical methods (Newton-Raphson) allowed detrxmination of the equilibrium constant (Fig. 1) as well as the ratio of the diffusion coefficients of Fe"(EDTA) andNO[3]. 

The oxidation reaction (eq. 2) is an irreversible reaction with first order in oxygen and smmd ordo in iron chelate. The kinetic constants at various temperatures were determined using a penetration theory based expression derived by De Coursey [4] and the results are presented in Fig. 2.

Treatment with iron chelators and a-tocopherol protect against lipid p>eroxidation and hepatocellular injury in iron-overloaded rats (Sharma etal., 1990). When hepatocytes are isolated from rats, which have been pretreated with a-tocopherol, there is a significant reduction in iron-induced lipid peroxidation and improvement in cell viability in vitro (Poli et al., 1985). Similar effects were seen when hepatocytes were incubated with iron chelators (Bacon and Britton, 1990). Treatment of moderately, but not heavily, iron-loaded rats with desferrioxamine in vivo inhibits the pro-oxidant activity of hepatic ultrafiltrates (Britton et al., 1990b).
