Pentetic acid, also known as diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), is a synthetic polyamino carboxylic acid with eight coordinate bond forming sites that can sequester metal ions and form highly stable DTPA-metal ion complexes. DTPA, along with its calcium and zinc trisodium salts, are the only FDA approved agents for the treatment of internal contamination by transuranics. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Detapac, Titriplex V and Perma kleer. Its PubChem CID is 3053.
