The main component of bile acid chelating agent is bile acid Chelation, which is a kind of compound formed by combining with bile acid. Common bile acid chelating agents include ethylamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), Succimer (DMSA) and dimercaptopropane sulfonic acid (DMPS).
Cholic acid chelating agents are mainly used in the following aspects:
Treatment of heavy metal poisoning: Cholic acid chelators can combine with heavy metal ions (such as lead, mercury, cadmium, etc.) to form soluble complexes, thereby promoting their excretion in the body and reducing their damage to the body.
Radioactive substance poisoning treatment: Cholic acid chelating agents can combine with radioactive substances, promote their excretion, and reduce the harm of radioactive substances to the human body.
Treatment of liver and gallbladder diseases: Due to the important process of bile acid production and excretion in the liver, bile acid chelators can be used in the treatment of certain liver and gallbladder diseases (such as primary biliary cirrhosis) to assist in the normal excretion of bile acid.
Blood purification: Cholic acid chelators can be used in blood purification processes such as hemodialysis and plasma exchange to help remove toxins and waste from the body.
It should be noted that the use of bile acid chelating agents should be guided by a doctor, following the correct dosage and usage method. In addition, different bile acid chelating agents may have different indications and Contraindication. Please consult your doctor before use.
