Providing effective chelation therapy in response to internal human actinide contamination has been shown to reduce acute radiation damage, chemical toxicity, and late radiation effects. The recent development of improved actinide-sequestering agents for potential use in chelation therapy has been based on a body of work in several areas of coordination chemistry. Key among these is the expansion of our fundamental understanding of the structural and solution (thermodynamics) coordination of the actinides. This understanding allows lanthanide metal ions to be used as suitable models for the actinides. Described in this work is an overview of an approach toward the design and optimization of actinidesequestering agents.This rational approach for the design of preorganized multidentate sequestering agents for actinides was inspired by siderophores, the naturally occurring microbial iron (III)-sequestering agents. Biological evaluation of the efficacy and toxicity of these ligands has provided comprehensive data for the ongoing ligand optimization process. This has enabled the development of a class of promising highly selective agents for in vivo chelation of Pu (IV). In addition, several low-toxicity tetradentate linear ligands with a pentylene or diethyl ether backbones containing catecholate or hydroxypyridinonate binding groups have been found to chelate other actinides and have been identified as suitable agents for in vivo chelation of Am (III), Np (IV/V), or U (VI).
