| ALT_DEFINITION | A chemical compound that binds tightly to metal ions. In medicine, chelating agents are used to remove toxic metals from the body. They are also being studied in the treatment of cancer.
Used to sequester ions from solution and to form stable complexes (e.g. sequestering agent). (Pharmaceutical Excipients: A review Shilpa P Chaudhari and Pradeep S Patil Marathwada Mitra Mandal’s College of Pharmacy, Thergaon, Pune, Maharashtra, India. USP <1059>)
