Dithiolated diethylenetriaminepentacetic acid (DTDTPA)

Dithiolated diethylenetriaminepentacetic acid (DTDTPA) is a chemical compound used in chelation chemistry and bioconjugation. It contains two thiol (sulfhydryl) groups and is a derivative of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA).

The presence of two thiol groups makes DTDTPA useful for coordinating with metal ions, particularly those in the 4+ oxidation state. This compound is often used in chelation reactions to form stable complexes with metal ions, which can have applications in areas such as radiopharmaceuticals, contrast agents for imaging, or metal-based therapies.

Due to the presence of thiol groups, DTDTPA can also be utilized in bioconjugation reactions, especially in the modification of biomolecules or surfaces where thiol chemistry is applicable.
