Pharmaceutical Applications |
Calcium disodium edetate, also referred to as calcium sodium EDTA, stands for the chemical compound 2,2 ,2 ,2 -(ethane-1,2-diyldinitrilo)tetraacetic acid, which is a synthetic amino acid. Edetate refers to the calcium disodium salt of the chelating agent with the formula (HO2CCH2)2NCH2CH2N(CH2CO2H)2. In the United States, it is found under the name calcium disodium versenate. Edetate is mainly used to complex di and trivalent metal ions. Edetate can bind to metals via the four carboxylate and two amine groups, and it forms specially strong complexes with Co(III), Cu(II), Mn(II) and Fe(III). Dimercaprol (BAL, British anti-Lewisite), calcium disodium edetate and penicillamine are the three most common chelating agents used in the treatment of heavy-metal poisoning. |
