chelator, desferrioxamine (DFO), protects cultured cells against oxidant challenge but
pharmacologically effective concentrations of this drug cannot readily be achieved in vivo.
DFO localizes almost exclusively within the lysosomes following endocytic uptake,
suggesting that truly lysosomotropic chelators might be even more effective. We
hypothesized that an amine derivative of α-lipoamide (LM), 5-[1, 2] dithiolan-3-yl-pentanoic …
