Chelating Agents (None)
- Target
- None
- Molecular classification
- Small Molecule
01
Overview
Chelating agents are molecules that bind to metal ions, forming stable ring-like complexes called chelates. This process alters the metal's chemical properties, enabling detoxification, removal of excess metals, or use in industrial processes. They are used in medicine to treat heavy metal poisoning and metal overload disorders. Industrial applications include water treatment, cleaning, and food preservation.
02
Mechanism of action
Chelation: Formation of stable, soluble complexes with metal ions, facilitating their removal from the body or system.
