Question 2

How does PENTETATE ZINC TRISODIUM work?

Accepted Answer

PENTETATE ZINC TRISODIUM works through the following mechanism: 12.1 Mechanism of Action Zn-DTPA forms stable chelates with metal ions by exchanging zinc for a metal of greater binding capacity. The radioactive chelates are then excreted by glomerular filtration into the urine. In animal studies, Zn-DTPA forms less stable chelates with uranium and neptunium in vivo resulting in deposition of these elements in tissues including the bone. Zn-DTPA treatments are not expected to be effective for uranium and neptunium. Radioactive iodine is not bound by DTPA..
