High-Dilutions as Mercury’s Chelating Agent

Effect of chelating agent on Hydroxyapatite morphology under hydrothermal process

Citrate was used as chelating or morphology regulating agent in this study. In the presence of regulating agent a two-dimensional monetite phase evolved into  three-dimentional hydroxyapatite microspheres with an average diameter of 4 µm. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies revealed the importance of Ca/citrate ratio in regulating the particle m...

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...

Deferasirox, an iron-chelating agent, as salvage therapy for rhinocerebral mucormycosis.

Iron availability is a critical factor in the growth of Mucorales (5). Here we report the novel use of deferasirox (Exjade; Novartis), an iron chelator recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of transfusionrelated iron overload (3), as salvage therapy for a patient with progressive rhinocerebral mucormycosis. A 40-year-old man presented to an outside hospita...

Polymeric precursor derived nanocrystalline ZnO thin films using EDTA as chelating agent

Combination Therapy Using Chelating Agent and Zinc for Wilson’s Disease

There is no clear international consensus regarding the optimal medication therapy for treating Wilson's disease (WD). This study systematically reviews the effectiveness of various medication therapies in common use, specifically focusing on preliminary findings concerning the combination of a chelating agent and zinc. A systematic PubMed search was executed to locate original studies on the e...
