Description

Edetic acid (EDTA) is a chelating agent. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved edetic acid chelation therapy as a treatment for lead and heavy metal poisoning. Edetic acid in form of disodium salt was withdrawn from the market due to death resulting from hypocalcemia during chelation.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Curator's Comment: Edetic acid can be given intramuscularly at 1000 mg/m2/day
hypercalcemia: adults: 50 mg/kg/day (up to 3 g/day) administered by slow IV infusion. Frequency and duration of administration are quite variable, and should be determined based on the patient's serum calcium. Five consecutive daily doses may be administered, followed by 2 days without medication, repeating these courses as necessary to a total of 15 doses.
Route of Administration: Other
In Vitro Use Guide
Curator's Comment: Human endothelial cells (HUVEC), lung fibroblasts (CCD 18lu), mesenchymal stem cells and EPCs were harvested by rinsing with 2 mM edetic acid (EDTA) in PBS after lead exposure.
