Product Description: ZnDTPA is an orally effective chelating agent, which belongs to the class of amino carboxylic acid chelating agents and is mainly used to form stable complexes with metal ions. DTPA (diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) itself is a polydentate ligand that can form stable cyclic or chain-like complexes with a variety of metal ions. ZnDTPA can be used to reduce the long-term toxicity of 239Pu to rats and reduce the incidence of osteosarcoma, breast cancer, etc. in rats[1].
Applications: Cancer-programmed cell death
Formula: C14H21N3O10Zn
