Synthesis, absorption, and toxicity of N1,N8-bis(2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)spermidine, a potent iron chelator

A synthesis of N1,N8-bis(2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)spermidine, a potent iron chelator, is developed employing N4-benzylspermidine as the starting material. Both the toxicity and the absorption properties of this compound are evaluated, further supporting its potential as a clinical iron chelator.
