The present invention relates to novel thiazoline acids and derivatives thereof useful as chelators of trivalent metals in therapeutic applications. For example, the thiazoline acid derivatives are useful in diagnosing and treating pathological conditions associated with an excess of trivalent metals in humans and animals.

Composition, article of manufacture for and method of treating malaria in a human having an infestation of Plasmodium protozoans are described. The method comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I) or (IV), i.e., sufficient quantity to reduce the population of Plasmodium. The composition of the invention is a compound of formula (I) or (IV) with a pharmaceutical excipient. The article of manufacture is the composition in combination with labelling for treating malaria. The substituents are detailed in the specification.

One aspect of the present invention relates to a method of treating or preventing pathologic sequelae of acute hyperglycemia and/or increased fatty acid flux in a subject. This method involves administering an ROS inhibitor to the subject. In addition, methods of promoting neovascularization, inhibiting oxidation or excessive release of free fatty acids, and identifying compounds suitable for treatment or prevention of ROS-mediated injury are also disclosed.

Further structure-activity studies of desferrithiocin analogues are carried out. (S)-desazadesmethyldesferrithiocin, 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-Delta(2)-thiazoline-4(S)-carboxylic acid, serves as the principal framework in the current paper. Desazadesmethyldesferrithiocin can be structurally altered with facility, and data are already available on its iron-clearing properties and toxicity parameters. Four different kinds of structural modifications of this framework are undertaken: introduction of hydroxy, carboxy, or methoxy groups on the aromatic ring; alteration of the thiazoline ring; increasing the distance between the ligand donor atoms; and benz-fusion of the aromatic rings. The structural modifications described are shown to have a tremendous imp act on both the iron clearance and toxicity profiles of the desazadesmethyldesferrithiocin molecule. All of the compounds are assessed in a bile-duct-cannulated rodent model to determine iron clearance efficiency. Ligands which demonstrate an efficiency of greater than 2% are carried forward to the iron-overloaded primate for iron-clearing measurements. Ligands with efficiencies greater than 3% in the primate are then evaluated in a formal toxicity study in rodents. On the basis of the results of the present work, 2-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-Delta(2)-thiazoline-4(S)-carboxylic acid is a promising candidate for clinical evaluation.
