| Targets |
Calcium trinatrium DTPA hydrate targets heavy metal ions and CMV (cytomegalovirus). As a metal chelator, the compound binds to divalent and trivalent metal ions with high affinity, forming stable water-soluble complexes that can be excreted from the body. The mechanism of action involves the exchange of calcium in the DTPA complex for metal ions with higher binding affinity, such as plutonium, americium, curium, gadolinium, and cadmium. For its antiviral activity, Ca-DTPA inhibits CMV L-antigen production with an EC50 ranging from 6.1 to 9.9 μM, making it a non-toxic CMV replication inhibitor. The compound may interfere with viral replication by chelating metal ions required for viral enzyme function or by directly interacting with viral proteins.

| ln Vitro |
Metal ions with a decreasing potency order of Mn2+/Zn2+>Fe2+>Cu2+>Fe3+ inhibit the antiviral activity of Calcium trinatrium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid hydrate. The synthesis of CMV L-antigen is inhibited by diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid calcium trisodium salt hydrate, with an EC50 ranging from 6.1 to 9.9 μM [2].
In vitro, calcium trinatrium DTPA hydrate demonstrates antiviral activity against cytomegalovirus (CMV). The compound inhibits CMV L-antigen production with EC50 values ranging from 6.1 to 9.9 μM, indicating potent antiviral activity. The compound also shows activity as a metal chelator, effectively binding to various metal ions including plutonium, americium, curium, and gadolinium. In cell-based assays, Ca-DTPA has been shown to inhibit CMV replication without significant cytotoxicity, suggesting a favorable selectivity index. The compound's in vitro activities support its use as both a chelation therapy agent and an antiviral research tool. The chelating properties of Ca-DTPA make it useful for studying the role of metal ions in biological systems. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, calcium trinatrium DTPA hydrate is used as a chelation therapy agent for the treatment of heavy metal poisoning and radioactive contamination. The compound is administered intravenously or by inhalation to promote the excretion of toxic metals and radioactive isotopes from the body. In animal studies, Ca-DTPA has been shown to effectively reduce the body burden of radioactive materials and heavy metals, protecting against their toxic effects. The compound's efficacy as a chelator depends on the timing of administration relative to exposure and the specific metal ion being targeted. Ca-DTPA is also used in research to study metal ion metabolism and the effects of metal chelation on various biological processes. Its antiviral activity in vivo has not been extensively characterized.

| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro binding assays for calcium trinatrium DTPA hydrate involve measuring its metal chelation properties. The assay typically uses a metal ion (e.g., Cd²⁺, Pu⁴⁺, or a fluorescent metal probe) and varying concentrations of Ca-DTPA. The formation of the metal-DTPA complex is monitored by UV-Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence quenching, or by measuring the free metal ion concentration using ion-selective electrodes or inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The stability constant (log K) for the metal-DTPA complex is determined. Competition assays with other chelators (e.g., EDTA) can be performed to compare binding affinities. For antiviral activity, enzyme assays measuring CMV L-antigen production are performed.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays for calcium trinatrium DTPA hydrate are performed using CMV-susceptible cell lines (e.g., human foreskin fibroblasts, MRC-5 cells). Cells are infected with CMV and treated with serial dilutions of Ca-DTPA (typically 1-100 μM). Viral replication is assessed by measuring CMV L-antigen production using immunofluorescence or ELISA, or by quantifying viral DNA by qPCR. The EC50 is determined from concentration-response curves. Cytotoxicity is assessed using MTT or LDH release assays to determine the CC50 and selectivity index (SI = CC50/EC50). The compound's effects on cell viability and morphology are monitored. For chelation studies, cells are treated with metal ions in the presence or absence of Ca-DTPA to assess the compound's ability to protect against metal-induced toxicity.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies with calcium trinatrium DTPA hydrate are conducted in rodent models of heavy metal poisoning or radioactive contamination. Animals are exposed to toxic metals (e.g., cadmium, plutonium) and then treated with Ca-DTPA via intravenous or intraperitoneal injection. The compound's ability to promote the excretion of the metal or radioactive isotope is assessed by measuring metal levels in urine, feces, and tissues using ICP-MS or radiometric methods. Tissue distribution of the metal is analyzed to determine the efficacy of chelation. Survival and clinical signs are monitored. Histopathological analysis is performed to assess organ damage. The compound's efficacy is compared to vehicle controls and other chelators (e.g., EDTA, DMSA).
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Calcium trinatrium DTPA hydrate has well-characterized pharmacokinetic properties. Following intravenous administration, the compound is rapidly distributed to the extracellular space, where it binds to metal ions. Ca-DTPA does not penetrate cells well, limiting its ability to chelate intracellular metals. The compound is primarily excreted unchanged in the urine, with a half-life of approximately 1-2 hours in humans. The pharmacokinetics of Ca-DTPA are dose-dependent, and the compound is cleared rapidly from the circulation. For oral administration, the compound has poor bioavailability due to its hydrophilic nature and is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, intravenous or inhalation routes are used for therapeutic applications. The compound's pharmacokinetics are affected by renal function, and dosage adjustment may be needed in patients with renal impairment.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Calcium trinatrium DTPA hydrate is generally considered safe and well-tolerated at therapeutic doses. The compound has low acute toxicity and is non-toxic at concentrations that are effective for metal chelation. Common side effects include gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) and, with high doses, depletion of essential metals such as zinc and manganese. Prolonged use may lead to trace element deficiencies. The compound is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to DTPA or its components. As a research chemical, standard safety precautions should be followed when handling Ca-DTPA. The compound is for research use only and not for human therapeutic applications outside approved clinical use.

| Additional Infomation |
Calcium trinatrium DTPA hydrate is a chelating agent used for the treatment of heavy metal poisoning and radioactive contamination. The compound is approved by regulatory agencies for the treatment of internal contamination with plutonium, americium, and curium, and is also used off-label for other metal intoxications. Ca-DTPA is on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. The compound's mechanism of action involves the formation of stable, water-soluble complexes with metal ions, which are then excreted by the kidneys. The calcium in the complex is exchanged for the metal ion, allowing for the chelation of metals with higher affinity. In addition to its chelation properties, Ca-DTPA has been studied for its antiviral activity against CMV, although this application is not approved for clinical use. The compound is available from chemical suppliers for research purposes.
