chelationbased
Chelation-based refers to approaches, processes, or therapies that rely on chelation—the binding of metal ions by multidentate ligands to form stable metal complexes. In chemistry, biology, medicine, and industry, chelation-based strategies use these interactions to control solubility, reactivity, transport, or removal of metal ions.
Chemically, chelation involves a chelating agent, or chelator, that binds a metal center at multiple donor sites,
Medical use of chelation-based approaches includes chelation therapy, which uses agents such as EDTA, dimercaprol, penicillamine,
Safety and regulation emphasize that chelation-based applications can carry risks, including mobilization of metals and disturbance
