Investigating the 18-membered macrocyclic chelator NOON-2py for the detoxification of Cd 2+ , Hg 2+ , and Pb 2+
Jacy R. Lieberum, Jane M. Traylor, Marianne L. Jensen, Stephan P. A. Sauer, Lars Hemmingsen, Justin J. WilsonA diaza-18-crown-6 chelator appended with pyridyl pendant arms achieves highly stable, selective chelation of toxic heavy metals, Cd 2+ , Hg 2+ , and Pb 2+ , and demonstrates in vitro sequestration of these metals, offering promise for chelation therapy.
