EDTA-d₁₂  (Synonyms: Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid-d₁₂)

EDTA-d₁₂ is the deuterium labeled Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid[1]. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a metal chelators (binds to metal divalent and trivalent cations including calcium), which shows activities of anticoagulant and anti-hypercalcemic. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid decreases the metal ion-catalyzed oxidative damage to proteins, and allows maintenance of reducing environment during protein purification. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid can also decrease the formation of disulfide bonds[2][3][4].

Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs^[1].
