Edta: the Chelating Agent under Environmental Scrutiny
EDTA: THE CHELATING AGENT UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL SCRUTINY. The chelating agent EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is a compound of massive use world wide with household and industrial applications, being one of the anthropogenic compounds with highest concentrations in inland European waters. In this review, the applications of EDTA and its behavior once it has been released into the environme...
متن کاملAntifungal agents: Polyene, azole, antimetabolite, other and future agents
Antifungals have always been considered as one of the astonishing discoveries of the 20th century. This is correct, but the real marvel is the development of antifungal resistance in hospitals, communities, and the environment concomitant with their use. Fungal infections have emerged as an important clinical threat, with significant associated morbidity and mortality. This study is desig...
متن کاملDesign of therapeutic chelating agents.
The successful design of orally active non-toxic selective metal chelators is a much sought-after goal. In order to identify an ideal chelator for clinical use, a range of specifications must be considered, such as metal selectivity and affinity, kinetic stability of the complex, bioavailability and toxicity. In this overview the comparative properties of ligands capable of endowing complexes w...
متن کاملComparison of Chelating Agents DMPS, DMSA and EDTA for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Metal Exposure
Aims: Several chelating agents are presently used among environmental physicians to diagnose and treat a chronic metal overexposure. We evaluated and compared the binding capacity of the most common chelating agents DMPS (2, 3-dimercapto-1propanesulfonic acid), DMSA (dimercaptosuccinic acid), also called Succimer) and EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) for the potentially toxic metals Ant...
متن کاملChelating agents in biological systems.
Chelation enables metals to be transported to or from vulnerable target sites, and to hinder or facilitate their carcinogenic potential. In the reverse sense, metals are capable of ligand scavenging via complexation or mixed complex formation--the latter being the result of interaction with binary complexes. Consequently, metal complexes can be utilized for the transport of selected organic che...
