A method of treating hemochromatosis, hyperammonemia, or a disorder associated with chronic inflammation or a cancer, involves administering the pharmaceutical composition to an individual in need thereof. In another aspect, a method of inhibiting formation of metal oxides or reducing metal reactivity comprises contacting a metal with an effective amount of the compound(s).
