Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (trisodium salt)

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid trisodium salt (EDTA trisodium salt; Trisodium EDTA) is a kind of metal chelating agent (binds to bivalent and trivalent metal cations, including calcium). Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid trisodium salt has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-hypercalcemia and anticoagulant activities. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid trisodium salt decreases the metal ion-catalyzed oxidative damage to proteins, and allows maintenance of reducing environment during protein purification. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid trisodium salt can alleviate the liver fibrosis. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid can be used for coronary artery disease and neural system disease research[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].
