A 3,2-Hydroxypyridinone-based Decorporation Agent that Removes Uranium from Bones In Vivo

In vivo decorporation of U(VI) from bones is an unsolved challenge because of the formation of stable uranium phosphate complexes. Here, the authors develop a hydroxypyridonone-based ligand with strong uranium complexation and low cytotoxicity. They find this ligand effectively removes uranium from...
