Potent, Gut-Restricted Inhibitors of Divalent Metal Transporter 1 (DMT1): Preclinical Efficacy Against Iron Overload and Safety Evaluation
2022-09-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) cotransports ferrous iron and protons and is the primary mechanism for uptake of non-heme iron by enterocytes. Inhibitors are potentially useful as therapeutic agents to treat iron overload disorders such as hereditary hemochromatosis or β-thalassemia intermedia, provided that inhibition can be restricted to the duodenum. We used a calcein quench assay to iden...
