Metabolite Identification
Common NameEthylenediaminetetraacetic acid
DescriptionEdetic acid, also known as edta or edetate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tetracarboxylic acids and derivatives. These are carboxylic acids containing exactly four carboxyl groups. Edetic acid is a drug which is used for the reduction of blood levels and depot stores of lead in lead poisoning (acute and chronic) and lead encephalopathy, in both pediatric populations and adults. Edetic acid exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Edetic acid is a potentially toxic compound.
