Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) might be the most popular metal ion chelator used for both industrial and medical purposes. It is widely used to chelate transitional metal ions, e.g., nickel, cobalt, ferric, ferrous, mercury, lead and other metal ions such as calcium and magnesium. After being bound by EDTA into a metal complex, metal ions generally exhibit diminished reactivity. EDTA is not permeable to live cells. EDTA, AM ester is the cell-permeant derivative of EDTA. Live cells are passively loaded with EDTA, AM by incubation with the cell membrane-permeant EDTA AM ester. Once internalized, cytosolic esterases cleave the AM esters to liberate the active tetra-carboxylate ligand EDTA that sequesters intracellular metal ions indiscriminately. For example, it can be used for sequestering cytosolic Ca2+ for investigations of the role of cytosolic calcium ion, or it can be used to sequester heavy metal contaminants or to inhibit metalloenzymes and metalloproteases that require divalent cations for activity.
